dberdinka Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 (edited) Just received a CD of photos from a trip that feels way to long ago. Wine Spires in late June of 2007. Sun, warmth, dry rock. June, thats only five months from now. I can't wait... Rebel Yell Ramp-Rage Action Potential Edited January 15, 2008 by dberdinka Quote
AlpineK Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Rebel Yell is a great climb. Nice pictures. Quote
Blake Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Nice Pictures Darin... its comforting to know that I'm not the only one daydreaming about summer climbing. For all the Rebel Yell gurus: Has anyone else done the left-hand variation? I know we couldn't have been the first, but I haven't read or heard reference to it anywhere... You get a great corner fingertip lieback, a well-protected squeeze chimney, and then huge holds as you cut your feet loose and swing out for a hand traverse. Quote
Dannible Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Blake- I think Burdo said that he had heard about the first pitch variation. Where is ramp rage? Looks perdy. Quote

We thought that *was* the route. There is a rap station at the base of the overhanging hand crack at the end of the first pitch. I ended up A0ing the fingertip dihedral, and found a fixed nut in the squeeze section. Then I pitched off trying to mantle up into the 4" horizontal crack, but got up the second time. Thought it was pretty sporty for 5.8. Quote
ivan Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Where is ramp rage? Looks perdy. on pasiano pinnacle, right in front of burgundy (kinda hard to distinguish from that higher summit actually) Quote
Dannible Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Thought it was pretty sporty for 5.8. Word. I tried to link that with the first pitch and got within 5 feet of the top of the corner before my arms died then took a 20-30 foot fall, and several shorter falls after that. I let Blake take the chimney, which was a solid choice. I'd say 10a or b but very sustained. Fun stuff though. Quote

Fun stuff though. .10b is probably about right, but that flaring squeeze chimney is probably 5.9+ and hence a lot more difficult. Quote
