John Frieh Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 (edited) Climb: Prusik-S Face Date of Climb: 8/15/2004 Trip Report: Brock, McKenzie, Ron and myself risked the predicted t-storms for the south side. We got lucky... good times! Approach Notes: Car to car in a leisurely (3 hour nap, swimming, backpacker harassment) 23 hours... in and out from Snow Creek. Beware the yellow jackets!

Ireneo_Funes Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Nice job, fellas. Looks like fun! So was it you doing the harrassing or the other way around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Frieh Posted August 18, 2004 Author Share Posted August 18, 2004 We harrassed the permit hogs (aka backpackers) and the yellow jackets harrassed us… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szyjakowski Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 just curious, is Fingerof fate nicer granite in your humble opinion or is prusik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Frieh Posted August 18, 2004 Author Share Posted August 18, 2004 Considering ONLY the granite quality I would say it is a dead tie... other route characteristics will determine which route you like more. (on that subject I think the granite on astro elephant in the sawtooths is better than both of these... but then again I don't know anything...)
