Peter_Puget Posted September 9, 2002 Posted September 9, 2002 I have heard this crag is reached by continuing up the Mt Washington trail past the turnoff to Bob's/Steel Fingers areas for about 5 minutes until a side trail is reached that leads to the crag. Runoured to be the largest crag in the area. Has anyone been there and if you have spill the beans! Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted September 9, 2002 Posted September 9, 2002 If they got serious about it they could chip the other guys' gals' routes down in rating Quote
matt_warfield Posted September 9, 2002 Posted September 9, 2002 they've been so busy putting in routes and building trails they don't have gals! Quote
matt_warfield Posted September 9, 2002 Posted September 9, 2002 don't need to when you have 3/8" hard........ware Quote
Peter_Puget Posted September 9, 2002 Author Posted September 9, 2002 Matt - Have you climbed on those cliffs uphill from Peanacle Point? How accurate do you think the ratings are? Quote
matt_warfield Posted September 9, 2002 Posted September 9, 2002 I'd say the ratings are consistent with the rest of Exit 38 stuff. There seem to be a few soft ratings but plenty that most will agree are on grade. They're probably be a few adjustments in the book as compared to the current suggestions. The good thing is that the stiff approach will weed out the off-the-couch sport wieners. Quote

matt_warfield Posted September 9, 2002 Posted September 9, 2002 Well, it's still better than the old days, when it was 1/4" hardware, and by now most are spinners. Quote
