Looking to get out tomorrow morning for a session. Need to be back early afternoon. Looking to hit the Eastern Block area(s) for a little volume. Thanks

I could get under the roof and pop both hands on to the lip and then pull up. Heaving up over the lip requires a bit of juice...Why not 10d easier if your short? I see routes like the second pitch of City Park say 10b harder if your short.

Climbed at the "new" Shakespeare wall yesterday and found it a bit dirty. Not sure how much traffic it has seen and pulled a hold off Macbeth. I did see a route on the way up to the wall across the talus that looks new. Anyone have any beta to share on that one?

Kevbone - please keep it on the low so we can avoid the spray etc. on the partners forum no plans for any fixing it seems just fine as it is

I can't tomorrow already engaged. Its also not a great day to be on that route. 81F in North Bend and no clouds. It will be a cooker unless you get underway very early. I can check in with my partner and if shes ok you can join in for local outing.

>>There is no way that I could climb it that fast. you'd be surprised, I learned a bunch when I did it and am now ready to break that PR. However I'd be up for a training run. fire guy with Seattle's Ballard station. Not too many SFD ice climbing types.

Do you happen to know a guy by the name of Pope? SFD/ice climber type.

I read that the record for car to car stands here: Car to Car - 6:11 23 Pitches - 3:20 Descent - 1:51

Malcolm - see 512's earlier post: This is the north facing wall up above the old railway line and between the Change Creek and Hall Creek trestles

Interested in speed climbing it?

That is quite a point spread on a potential rating - 6 grades. Thanks for the work on the route!

Question for you Index types. Smoot's old old WA State guide calls Free At Last a four pitch route that shares a start with Tatoosh. However, Cummins guide has it the other way round. Sky Valley Rock looks like it says the same thing as Smoot. In another thread Peter Puget gives the impression he agrees with Cummins. Does anyone know the facts?
