John Frieh Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Not the info I wanted. I don;t have a 6. Maybe I'll get one at REI... excuse me sir but I used it once and decided I didn't like the way it handled. That would be wrong : ) Thanks for the info. i have a #6 you can stop in West Seattle and borrow for your climb. PM if you're interested. My too. I'm in PDX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patob Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 The leader should take his pack off and haul it later. I climbed it like a chimney. Left arm towards crack, back againest the wall, and feet working the features on the wall. just scoot the #5 camalot along and your up. With the pack off it's not that hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mneagle Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Here she is: We used a #4 low down, slung the chockstone and walked a #6 camalot up a ways before leaving it and then putting those last 2 pieces in at the end in the adjacent crack (small stuff). It was pretty secure stemming all the way up. Don't get suckered into trying to body jam into the crack, there's no need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatboy Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Seconding this patch, carrying a pack, I found it easy to stem the whole thing....but would likely find that more difficult when leading it (versus the awkward security of the left side stuffed into the crack)....
