Highlander Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 The last two pitches are where the money is at. Be ready for some serious thrutching up the 5.9 chimney. The last pitch ends in an overhanging hand crack, but the crux is actually lower on that pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle_Tricky Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 Ration your gear wisely on the last pitch--I ended up back cleaning to get a few necessary pieces for the last 30 feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to da Toof! including what the capt says, the rock is also so fukin hard it hates bolts!!!!!!!!!!! Bends and breaks the drill bits.... Furthermore climbers get no special privileges from the rangers...and those snafflehounds are rope eating bitches...stay away...far away. Like exit 38.

Highlander Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 watch out for cougars, and be sure to bring plenty of horsecock for snafflehound bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texplorer Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Prussik Peak is a dangerous place! After a ten mile hike in through a "jungle" of fallen giant trees and 6000ft of elevation gain you might arrive at the base. Once there you must fend off blood sucking snafflehounds and rabid cougars. If this would not be enough there are occasionally horny goats up there too (famous for their aphrodisiatic properties). Beware: the lake supposedly is home to several of the legendary Alpine Hookers. Though rarely seen and spoken of only under ones breath, the "AK's" have been known to lure climbers away from the angelic mountains surrounding them. Once a climber succumbs he begins to climb less and less and is sucked into the dreaded hell known as marraige. The climb itself is relatively moderate with only 50ft pro-less sections, only one death chimney, and most of the route is only slightly overhanging.  Recommended Rack: 10lbs horsecock 1lb cheese (keep it in your pocket) Lots of Crack-em-ups 1 quintessential bad partner 2 yellow aliens  One final note: If you are thinking about doing this route -think again. Your gonna die in the Chimneys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
