texplorer Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 I did this route on Sunday and was told by a guy there that it only gets done once every couple of years. I thought it was a pretty fun route, just full of pidgeon shit. Anyway I recommend this route as the moves and position are pretty fun and once you pull the lip it's a nice .9 smith crack. I was wondering if anyone else here has done this thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvshaker Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Hey Tex! My guess would be more like every 2 months from my limited observations. I followed it in Feb. and really liked the bottom half, but that's about it. Solid pro though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter_Puget Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 I know a bunch of people that have climbed it. Luvshaker's guess is certainly much closer to reality than what you were told. Anyone climbed Minas Morgol?(sp?) fun route too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texplorer Posted April 10, 2004 Author Share Posted April 10, 2004 DFA, I think toes is a wee bit harder as in .13 or something.. . so my softcore ass wont' be even pretending to get on that thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehhh, you wussface. The book says none of the moves are unreasonable or nothin'. Or are you just afraid of the contorted jams that make the climbing no fun (paraphrase of SmithBible)? Tape up and step up, nancy boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texplorer Posted April 11, 2004 Author Share Posted April 11, 2004 In my book, contorted jams and clipping bolts don't go together. So eh, the reason I won't do it . . is . . uh. . .its a bolted crack. . errr. . .yea, that's why I won't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 Can't argue with that kind of logic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
