There was another route done on that face that is not in any book
Steve Elder and Tim Olson pioneered a rap bolted line
in the center of the wall somewhere.
Would mr.Ols chime in?
Dont be against an occasional good bolt/pin anchor.
There is no need to be pushing it.
I had a 25 foot grounder in one of my early goes at CG Choss(Pillars of Hercules 1978).
The chimney on Crown Point was a fond memory for young Wayne . Good luck and be safe as can be.
Dang, This is too bad. I am sure it can be chopped and skillfully patched back in? Those guys didnt "Look into" anything but there own selfish whims it seems to me.
Yes they did! It was a very snowy climb and there was some all night rappelling to get down. They had the route to themselves which surprised me because there were so many people who said they wanted to do the route. during the same window , Dana Drummond and I did the Benetiers route on El Mocho. It was a great 12 pitch 5.11-A0 climb at the base cliffs of Cerro Torre. Expect some more from these guys down there!
Great show, but MAN was it loud! Twice the decibels ,at least, of what it should be!
We had earplugs and still had to put hands over our ears . It literally shook your body at times.
