Dru Posted July 10, 2003 Posted July 10, 2003 i know a couple people that have done it in last few yrs word is the crux pitch is solid and the last 5.10 pitch is soft expect the usual slesse grass in a few places you might wanna check out e butt direct and/or the real mckim too Quote
bobbyperu Posted July 10, 2003 Author Posted July 10, 2003 cool thanx for comin thru dru, i figured you probably knew somethin, and that was pretty much the info i was lookin 4. did they like the route? looks cool... so slesse grass huh? pretty kind or what? cool that folks leave some around for us americans to get all shteed on, sounds like some salad tossin w/ whatcom county buds gonna be goin-on...also whats the real mckim? tia-bp Quote
Dru Posted July 10, 2003 Posted July 10, 2003 wrong kind of kind  slesse grass is the cow pasture type growing out of cracks and on terraces  real mckim is a route guy edwards ( RIP) and kelly franz put up that is 5.10+ and 14 new pitches going from p.6 or 7 of nav wall to top of stoddard/mullen E buttress. take KB pins for crux pitch. see CAJ 2002 for details. probably unrepeated. guy said its good.

bobbyperu Posted July 10, 2003 Author Posted July 10, 2003 wrong kind of kind , its cool we'll be stocked anyway, real mckim sound cu...and tough... thanx again 4 the info and another 4 Guy what an amazing inspiration -RIP Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted July 11, 2003 Posted July 11, 2003 I doubt it sees half the traffic of any other route. It's pretty intimidating in person. Â The McClane book has some very detailed arial photos and is probably the standard guidebook for the mountain. Although I think the Lowe route looks pretty cool and heard the winter routes up there are good too. Â Â Â Â Â Â Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted July 11, 2003 Posted July 11, 2003 Beauty of a mountain. Even if you climb any route....... Quote
