I agree that it is a quality route, climbed it about a year ago. The route has good finger jambs and is one of the cleaner crack climbs on the wall, as you mentioned. I don't remember any cobwebs or dirt on the route, I thought it was a very good climb. That bush at the base is not really in the way either. When we did it, the 2 project bolts were not even connected. That tat you found was probably ours that we added. I thought the anchor as we left it was adequate. Sure it would be better to have it's own double bolt anchor and chain setup, but we didn't have a drill with us. The traverse over to the top of the fingernail sized seam from Crazy Fingers is pretty straighforward and should not dissuade potential climbers. Bob Loomis leading it last year...

Nice kidie bike, do you ride that to the boulders?

Seams like a good idea to me. At the same time replace or remove the old rusty bolts on the pitch getting up to that stance. Keep those fixed pins though, they looked good.

Nice job on your climb. Did the left one yesterday. Quite fun except for the runout in the flared groove between the pins. (I counted 2 fixed pins in it). What did you think, maybe 10B? It looks like the bolt on the right one is to protect the runout where the crack peters out into a groove.

I really like Boeing's idea, the Sonic Cruiser for a higher speed aircraft (nonsupersonic). Too bad they axed it.

It was dry last July, I doubt there's snow left now.

That way is completely broken up now. In your first photo, the way through should be just left of the left edge.

Nope, that section of the glacier is completely unpassable as of yesterday. I think Chuck means go all the way around left of this photo avoiding the icefall.

Nice work! Do have a photo you could annotate of your path up through the Inspiration Glacier.

Saturday - Goodell Creek Trail - ASS WHOOPING Sunday - Inspiration Icefall - ASS WHOOPING Sunday night - Goodell Creek Trail - ASS WHOOPING I think there should be a new law that all trailheads must start over 3,000 feet. I just love hiking in 90 degree humid jungle for 7 hours with a big pack up a brutal steep trail.

Those heavy pipes can make you lose your balance...

The mountie creek approach follows a climbers path all the way into the basin below the Ice Cliff, no bushwacking required.

Sweet pics! Nice job.

Thanks for the beta. Nice photos and TR!

What if I do a hike on highway 2 like the mounties with my nice helmet? Where should I post that TR?

The first two pitches could use some cleaning, but 3 through 8 were fantastic, especially the crux 10C pitch.

Nice work! That route looks amazing (we rapped down it on Saturday).

Nice. Good on you for taking beginners out and showing them the ropes. Here is a pic I took of one of your party leading the second pitch.

Should be a piece of cake. Hike up the Stuart Glacier near the base where there are no crevasses, cross the 2 high passes and around to the gulley start.

My favorite roadside one is Elowah Falls. It is a 1 or 2 mile hike in and hearing the waterfall as you enter the canyon and get your first view is cool. Also, it is not crowded.

Yeah, why would you want to climb the North Ridge of Stuart, when you could hike some sick trail up Mount Elbert. Colorado's mountains make Mount Si seam like a great accomplishment.

A great read!

An excellent read, thanks for the link.
