willstrickland Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 Anybody done this? If so, what's the poop on the A1/5.12 section? How long, what kind of climbing (if done free)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 Hard climbing (if done free). Dig around in the archives of this site for the broken bone story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialed Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 dude your ruining the adventure. We've just got to go and find out for ourselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willstrickland Posted June 28, 2001 Author Share Posted June 28, 2001 yeah, you're right specialed, I'm being a damn weenie, I started to write an excuse, but for a guy whose self-proclaimed favorite climbing is "adventure trad routes" there is no excuse. Thanks for calling me on it! Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjizzy Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 It would be hard, but not very long. The first aid pitch is about 25', the second about 12'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPS Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 Are you talking about my broken bone incident on Girth Pillar or someone else's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPS Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 I may be hard, but I found out I break pretty easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 Hard = brittle soft = ductile. Soft men live longer. [This message has been edited by Dru (edited 06-29-2001).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 I have since put on much padding and become softer. Haven't broken anything since, so I think it is a winning strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
