Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 WTF? You've done the route but you need someone else's opinion on it? Â What a moron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counterfeitfake Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Cut the guy some slack, he's trying to start a conversation. He's just not very good at it. Â What did YOU think of it Kevbone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevbone Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 What did YOU think of it Kevbone? Â My wife and I did it with the Dierdra start, 22 pitches in all. One of the best climbs I have ever done. If you are all about steep rock and exposure, this climb is not for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bstach Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Its a nice climb, but I think it is overrated and certainly over-run. I've done it twice and had plenty of company both times. It has its place a nice, moderate, well-protected lead (some say over protected). Ideal for one of your first 5.9-ish multi-pitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northvanclimber Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 My wife and I did it with the Dierdra start, 22 pitches in all. Â this link-up should be named "the ultimate line-up" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I climbed the ultimate dissapointment a while back and thought it sucked. lots of 35-50 ft pitches with 1/2 a move of 5.8, and way too much hiking in between pitches. its hard not to identify it as a money maker for the climbing guides in town. with that being said I think its still a bit more entertaining than the squamish buttress. Â if you want a moderate low commitment route up the chief i would recommend Stairway to Heaven. its not the raddest route around, but you get a nice tour of a number of different crags, a wee bit of sustained climbing, and the pitches above bellygood are pretty damn cool.

catbirdseat Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I climbed the route last year with Jim Spencer. It's all right, not great, but definitely worth doing. Not that much exposure, a few too many bolts, but the rock is clean for the most part. We used The Sickle and Boomstick for the approach pitches up the apron, if my memory serves me. I didn't mind the little hike up through the forest. Maybe I'm easy to please, but I had a good time. It took us less than four hours to do the 10 pitches. That put us on the summit at 2 pm with enough time to hike down, do lunch and go out to do two more pitches at Campground Wall. That remains my record for pitches in a day at 17.

Â Â 1/2 a move of 5.8? You must climb 5.13 on a regular basis to make that comment. Â I personaly thought the bolting job on the first pitch was bogus. The third bolt is about 12 inchs to high. Did you not know what you were getting into? As far as what kind of climbing? I would repeat the route anytime myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyHarry Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Nobody cares that you did the route or whether you would repeat it or not. It sounds pretty fucking geh to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I'm more concerned about CBS only climbing 17 pitches in a day. That sounds like a bivy epic coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don’t you "derilick my balls". I obviously don’t care if you care.  PS: You really should climb the route...wait...you can’t.

Â You're only speaking for 1 person dirty. Yourself. If you really do not care, why did you post anything. I mean to say if you really don't give A flying fuck why not just keep it to yourself? Â I want to see pictures !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Â CBS? Kevbone? Anyone? Â Pics of long clean granite slabs and lines dudes, bring on the winter stoke!

beecher Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 it must be lame because exposure & commitment are minimal enough that I would contemplate doing it. here are some pictures I looked at on the internet a while ago, maybe they're still there: http://www.alpinedave.com/squamish/ultimate_everything/ultimate_everything.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
