DirtyHarry Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Looks like a nice thrutchfest. How many pitches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeleRoss Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 Ok got bigger pics up. 8 pitches We had wanted to free the whole route...didn't work out that way, but did free one of the aid sections. The others I think will go free, but I'm not going back...someone else can go have all that fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeleRoss Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 you wouldn't need to bring 2x4's, cuz if you had a saw you could cut the trees off the first ledge and hack those as you go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skykilo Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 This route was enjoyable like having your dentist give you a filling without using novocaine. Actually, it had some really cool spots, but the loose rock/kitty litter/poor pro was frequently quite scary. Definitely stimulating.

layton Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 thank for the honesty on the route, it's off the list for a long time at least, i'm so sick of that col (4 times now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magellan Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 WARNING! Man eating off width! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeleRoss Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 The rock wasn't that bad there were plenty of loose flakes, and the requisite WAPass kitty litter. If you really like offwidths and chimneys you will probably love the route. and the cruxy stuff are thin cracks...and the ultimate belayer slayer spooky!
