new2ctownclimbr Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Got on the first pitch of Sisu yesterday. Although I didn't manage to send all the moves I was still able to french free to the top. The anchors at the top of the first pitch were bomber but consisted only of two bolts with hangers and three dried out and faded slings without any kind of rap rings or chains. I ended up leaving a new sling and a couple of biners. Wondering if anyone knows of a better way to get off the ledge? I would be willing to add some chain to the hangers if anyone thinks that is a good idea. Also, anyone with stories/personal experiences on this route please feel free to share. Thanks.

backcountrydog Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 its a really good route. nice face climbing with interesting and harder moves the further up you get. replacing webbing with ql's and chain is a great idea. if you are trying to get off of just the first pitch, i would say that the best option is rapping/lowering off of those anchors. were you questioning it because of the tat or was there some other issue? doing the first part of 'The Ave' and joining up with 'Over Forty' is another good option for a first pitch of Sisu. Sisu! (go for it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
