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

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 ( bigdrink.gifRIP) 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.

I doubt it sees half the traffic of any other route. It's pretty intimidating in person.

 

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. thumbs_up.gif
