We didn't take snowshoes...the only time they would have been useful was the slog out, as the snow got real soft as it warmed up on Saturday.

Considering 4 screws are tied up in anchors, that leaves 6 screws for a pitch of climbing, which seemed reasonable to us...not sure why that's ridiculous??

Nice! Can't wait to get back out on all that beautiful granite!

because climbers at vantage are typically more sober than at most other climbing areas... Lies!!! I don't think I've ever been sober there. My roommate: "if you're sober(at vantage), you're doing something wrong" good quote indeed, and applicable to most situations, i would venture to reckon...way out is the way out, otter...
