stinkyclimber Posted October 2, 2003 Share 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.

Also you used a plastic pink flamingo. So much for "clean" ascents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
