layton Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Anyone done the W.Face of Burgandy (aka Annie Greensprung Route) What's it like compared to the classic N.Face? Beckey makes it look longer, w/some nice long cracks and "great rock". Same goes with Never Enough near Clean Break. Any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 clean brake- awsome 1st pitch, the rest is so- so. go through burgundy call- much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layton Posted July 4, 2002 Author Share Posted July 4, 2002 Thanks that's great advice about the col! My question relates to the two routes "W.Face Burgandy, and Never Enough on Ares Tower" Ares tower is near clean break. Does anyone have beta for those routes. There's been a thread for clean break so I think it's covered, but thanks for the info regardless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wotan_of_ballard Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Annie Green Springs is a much better route than TNF of Burgandy IMHO. Rock is sounder without the grit, cracks are not rounded, lots of interesting moves. There is a very obvious large chimney low on the west face, do not climb this but rather the crack system and left trending ramp about 100' to the right at about the same height. the topo is off in this regard but the verbal description is right on. route finding from below can be tricky, it helps to climb Pisano the day before and pick out the route. small tcus very useful, extra ones? I thought Clean Break was a great climb, better than the free climbing parts of Liberty Crack (assuming you don't free above mid 5.10) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
