num1mc Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 On the way home we stopped at "Best Friends Expresso" on Lake City way. After driving around the block once, we went back for more coffee. Then once more, but we couldn't drink much more coffee so we went home without a date Bump for this topical item Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwebster Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 A few more photos of RattleTale. This is a stellar route! We did it 7-7-12. Klondike leading pitch 2. This has got to be one of the cleanest hand jam corners anywhere on the west coast. It's slightly overhanging, and trends right. At the top, it gets bigger: #3 blue camalots...just when you are getting pumped. Lisa following pitch 2 layback style: Lisa leading pitch 3. That chimney variation on the left side looks sick! You'd need a couple valley giants and some big bros. Lisa rapping down. There are nice rap stations that allow you to get off with just one rope in three raps, rap the route. I've never seen anyone else up here in two visits. I like this route a lot better than Godzilla. The climbing is more consistent, you can totally sew it up if you need to.

genepires Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 laybacking second pitch is epic. one tough lady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crillz Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Last year sometime, we were up there chatting with another guy at that leftside squeeze. We figured it would take a bit of work to clean it up (with a push broom likely), and then it would fill up with crap again after winter. I suppose if we cleaned it up it could be good training for Yosemite (Steck Salathe maybe). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckaroo Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I just did the squeeze on top rope, it's a little bigger than the hollow flake on Salathe but just as hard. It would be called old school 5.9 but it's really 5.10 Chasing the Lizard is also very fun. Me and EmKay did these climbs on 7-5, and I also did them on 5-13 with James N.

ryanl Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Nice pictures Mark! I climbed that last year and loved it. We thought about heading there on Saturday but ended up on Breakfast. We were lazy. Would have been fun to run into you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boadman Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Stepping left off of the other 10 (avenging the goddess kring?) is also really fun, and there's a pretty cool 11+/12- bolted pitch at the top, with really cool granite pockety features.

markwebster Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Has the chimney ever been led? I've been thinking about leading it. I try not to top rope, so it would be an onsite. I've got big bros and a valley giant, so I could get up it safely...but for it to be climbed regularly, at least one bolt might be in order...seems like a lot of big cracks get a bolt to save people hauling big gear up there?
