skyclimb Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 We did this route about a week ago, and had a great time. Started from the car at 2:30 a.m. and were able to make it to the start of the ridge at sun-up at a lesiurely pace. Climbed for about 3 pitches, of cold windy terrain, and then got lost. We ended up to the right of the route, however the rock was still solid, and got some good solid face climbing pitches. This also was a blessing because the ridge protected us from the wind....anyways, topped out and made the two single roped rappels down the owen/spaulding route. These raps were pretty iced up. The exum was good to go as of a week ago. Quote
Alpinfox Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 ... got lost. We ended up to the right of the route... I did the same thing. That's some fun clamberin'! Quote
Mark_Husbands Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 howdy young feller, how ya been? did that route way way back in the nineties, back when folks were still using 50 meter ropes and spandura, 'cause we didn't have no schoeller yet. shoot me an email if you're ever passsing through Yo Semite way...

skyclimb Posted September 14, 2006 Author Posted September 14, 2006 LOL! Pax...looks like great minds think a like! Great route....even though I had to settle for one of the latter ascents, unlike Mr. Husbands who probably had one of the first ascents way back in the 90's. Shit, a 50 meter gold line rope...that must have been heavy! Good to hear from you guys, Mark I may be headed to to Sierra here in a week or so...drop a line. Quote
