RPM- Outerspace

[Charlie]

anybody out there done the rpm (10b) variation on snowcreek? I was going to try it yesterday but pussed out. The topo I have is pretty vague- do you come at the roof crack from the left or the right? What size is the crack? Is it overhanging once you pull the roof? Is the crux pulling the roof, or just getting into it? Anybody want a belay bitch to follow them through this pitch?

Charlie,

I done it twice. Once without falling. Once with falling. The crux portion is easy to protect (small stoppers then cams around 1", a couple). The time I fell, I didn't hit anything.

Don't know what you mean by this. See Outer Space Beta. That should spell it out and more.

It's more like face climbing pulling the roof, then off-fingers.

No.

I fell about 10' above the roof (too pumped).

I'm ready to try it again. I'm scared of that cop though.

Charlie were you climbing with a guy named Aaron on sunday? I think we ran into you two on the wall then at Gustav's.

[Charlie]

yeah, that's me. damn, you're still ridin' my ass did any of those ticks end up finding a home in ya? I came out clean.

Chuck- once again, you are the internet king- your website kicks ass! I thought you were supposed to pull the roof via the crack right in the middle of it. I'll send you a pm soon to try and climb it with ya.
