bobbyperu Posted June 24, 2003 Author Posted June 24, 2003 sweet... i gots all the respect in the world 4 these hardmen , maybe the route not worth repeating? doubt it though. i can't imagine they wanted to keep it secret, being its published . sans souci, theres lines 4 all thought it may have been fun 4 those involved to spread the love, i look forward to any info tia -bp (big pussy) Quote
joe_retard Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 Speaking of hardmen Kevin, I heard you are as solid as concrete sweetheart. Quote
wayne Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 He BP I just found this thread. It is way more than Becky states. He says it is a variation , when in fact it is a 12 pitch independent route. He mentioned 5.11c, which is half true. The hardest pitches we lead ground up free where 11c but we toped roped several sections much harder. We did all the pitches "free"(some on tr) at 5.12b. Probably took aid (on lead) on 3 pitches over all. So it has yet to see a free ascent.(Big Bone being thrown here). Go for it . I have topos of the whole thing and a vivid memory of it!! Â As far as just the head wall. I believe the first pitch of it is .11b. The second .11c, and the third is .11d. The 12b is on the pillar below the headwall. Quote
