DirtyHarry Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 With time to spare. I'd pick a not so hot day, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_Yngve Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 All depends on how fast you can do the aid, which is harder than the aid on Liberty Crack. The upper free pitches (basically the Barberpole Route) should take about 3 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary_Yngve Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I haven't done TRL but I've done LC and Barberpole, so I feel qualified in saying how long Barberpole should take and how "easy" the aid on LC is comparatively. I can't remember exactly how long it took us to climb Barberpole several years ago, but I have in my notes that we summited before 11 AM. Probably started at 6:30 AM, hour and a half to approach, scramble The Bong, and rack up. Started climbing at 8 AM. Three hours. Granted it would be faster to just climb from M&M Ledge rather than the approach ramp of Barberpole too, but you'll be carrying more stuff and will have already been moving for a while.
