Very nice job on the Acid Baby Blues.

 

Yes Mike, I am interested in the photos from your ginanomongous traverse FA today, please feel free to internet mail them to me, and congratulations!(next stop: hobby shop)

Nice job guys. It seems to me that there are plenty of unclimbed lines up there.

After talking with Capillini, we are pretty sure that 1.)it's a grade III 5.10 (super sustained, but not super duper technical) and those other guys in the 70's more likely than not went straight up from middle of pitch two cuz its more obvious and more straightforeward. Dan also thinks they came in from the left and didn't do Rolf's dihedral pitch.

 

So if anyone knows their line and if it was on this spire, please contact me.

Nice work!! Its cool to see people still going after possibilities.

That's a really cool picture! Puts N. Ridge of Stuart to shame.
