Sol Posted October 2, 2003 Posted October 2, 2003 Anybody got any gear beta for a clean ascent of Cannabis Wall?? Also, is it more funner to rap the route or continue to the top via Crescent Ramp?? Quote
Peter_Puget Posted October 2, 2003 Posted October 2, 2003 Dont have recent rack beta but I rapped and haven't talked to anyone who ever continued to the top Quote

stinkyclimber Posted October 2, 2003 Posted October 2, 2003 Been about a decade since I did this. The gear suggested seems reasonable. Nothing too funky...I think I remember getting by with just the 3 original sizes of Aliens, and then the usual RPs, nuts and cams. 'Course, we didn't know shit about aid climbing, so what do I know. We rapped too - I think from the top of the 5th or 6th...after that, it gets pretty bushy. Why bother going on- if you want to top out, might as well do a proper route in the Grand Wall area, or Tantalus Wall route - CB is more of a practice route. Quote
Sol Posted October 5, 2003 Author Posted October 5, 2003 Thanks for the beta folks. I'll post a tr if we do it. word. Quote

Also you used a plastic pink flamingo. So much for "clean" ascents. Quote

We did the pin thing only to make us feel like bad-asses, not because we had to. I did it again clean the next year. Mea cupla on the flamingo, though. But it was a CLEAN flamingo. Quote
