chris Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 We know they suck. They chew you up, spit you out, scare you with mandatory runouts and grind the flesh from your bones. But they're still part of the art... So what are your votes for the best OW pitches in the PNW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuMR Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 why would anyone want to climb ow??? that's as bad as skiing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannible Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 OW's suck. The one on the last pitch of the B-S route on the south face of Prusik is pretty cool though; lots of exposure, protects well with nuts, and is really the easiest part of the pitch. It got me nice and bloody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCash Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I like the unnamed one in Tieton left of MX. 150 feet of sustained 5.9 OW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Blue Autumn, 5.10b, Vantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 too short...next... I know you are, but Hypertension is the shit. Except the off-knee part. I hate the off-knee part. I saw some shirtless dude layback the whole thing once on TR after Luc flashed it on lead. When he lowered down his arms were pumped up bigger than his head.

NTM Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 because i have small hands, i really dug the upper pitches on Rebel Yell. my fists just bounced around in there, so it was thin OW tech the whole way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

counterfeitfake Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Anyone here done Pipeline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willstrickland Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I think RuMR has done Pipeline. Yeah, everyone knows Greg Cameron did the FFA of Pipeline free solo, but they may not know that he also onsight free soloed the Lost Arrow Chimney in the valley.

kevbone Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Anyone here done Pipeline? I have a friend who has done pipeline. He said it was the hardest lead he has ever done. I guess the FFA was a free solo. Crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
