smoot gives it a 5.8 too but he may have just been copying the older guide book grade. Felt like a nine to me. Kinda scary coming off that half way ledge even

damnation feels contrived as a thrutch because it can be easily stemmed

burgner/stanley on prussik has some chimney and a short bit of ow on first pitch anyone ever climb the ape and ballerina at index, guidebook says pitch 1 is a fist crack that overhangs by 25ft. now if only i could talk someone into hiking up there. also it would be really cool if someone would point out a 5.9 or so OW in a cragging enviroment that you could run laps on to really hone the technique. Unlike Carnival which destroys me after one lap.

thanks will do

Is the 8 inch section listed in nelsons topo runout with gear to 4 inches?

Did Mary Jane, thats a fun route had it all to ourselves

Boston peak

Please my golden was in Air Bud 3 Thank you next

thought your teeth did a good job of saving your ass

I thought you said you have never taken a fall on gear? So how have they saved your as then. My biggest fall was on a number 3 friend

challenger glacier, fury north butt, luna goodluck with the weather

I has impling that if you can do the 5.9 finger crack then I don't think you would have a probelm running out the bear hug and I'm also pretty sure that a #4 friend will work instead of a #5 friend.

Its not only my parents money that is being wasted Doesn't Beckey say to plug a number 4 friend in the bottom of the bear hug? It's 5.6 so take the big piece or don't if your considering doing the 5.9 part you be okay.

Infiltrate and conquer, who will volunteer to be our leader

I love how people always talk about bringing in a large cam in for this route and will last always make a I don't want to lug and #4 all the way in there statement as if you hiking in for day or something. Fun route though go get it

I didn't have a probelm rapping down from just above the slab Memorial day weekend

Aren't there a bunch of commonly couliors commonly used to approach the west ridge?

I was in the enchantments last weekend and did the west ridge of prussik. The ridge proper was snow free but there was snow on the ledges on the north side. So I speculate that the west ridge of stuart should be okay but there may be some snow on a ledge or two

just climb and freedom of the hills does a very poor job of anchor setup when you compare it to long's book there a thousand ways you could start out, you could climb a mutlipitch sport route, you could climb a multipitch trad route with fix anchors, you could climb a multipitch route with no anchors but big ledges..... bottom line do what is comfortable for you and only you can answer that question hence the just climb comment

I miss the Donni show by a day, but it does matter cause I'll be gone climbing then

Actually cracked's post makes a lot of sense when you consider there more than hundrend million people in the US, the way political system is set up, and the fact the Bush and kerry are our options

fuck dude chill out you still have time to find a new partner its not like you hiked in for 12 miles in perfect weather and your parenter bailed for some lame reason though I do find lame when I'm soloing and my partners pitch because i don't set a top rope up

I think thats inspiration on the very right

Careful there, Mr. "Buck Nekkid". haha haha thats hilerous, got me there, oh wait who got a free rope and i'm legal

Don't worry Rumr once Cracked hits puberty his interest will peep up
