Sol Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Frickin rad you guys! Â Â Thanks for the congrats blake, it was the most amazing day of my life. Â About the east face, sounds like you guys didn't free the crux, can you confirm the grades on any of the other pitches? Â Now, if i could only get ginnie jo to spend our honeymoon out there.

Blake Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 Sol, we kinda got off route on the crux. You mentioned a flake, and so we ended up AOing an overhanging flake to the right of what we think is the crux finger crack. From the ledge above, we top-roped the actual crux (I think). It was a Right-facing corner with a perfect finger crack that went through a roof/bulge thing, and suddenly turned into a splitter hand crack for the last 15' to a big ledge. I felt like it was .10d with perfect pro, but it was on TR. you just need to save a hand-sized cam for the last part, which you can't see from below. All the other stuff was onsighted, and the grades felt right on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlpineK Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I've looked at the Gunsight area from a distance several times but never been there. Â The photos you posted make it look even cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 DBerdinka and a buddy are up there now, so there might be even more climbs to do in the future. judging from the number of PM inquiries i've gottn about approach info, we should plan a Gunsight pub club for august.
