CFberg Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Trip: Liberty Bell - Sidewinder crak Date: 7/21/2009 Trip Report: Awesome day up at the Pass. Headed up the less traveled Side Winder route (5.9) first pitch: starts to the left of the chockstone in the southwest gulley, about 100 feet down hill. climbs up a ramp left past a tree and then straight up to the obvious crack, one run out section between cracks. pitch 2: belay from egg shaped alcove with large piton in the the right side, behind flake, climb up off width to run out face climbing. pitch 3: belay from large ledge on west face for the last pitch up till the slabby top. great climbing, pretty dirty with lichen, some run out section and a little too short. Hank sending Gear Notes: rack to 4" Approach Notes: loose and hot Quote
goatboy Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Would you recommend it, or did the loose rock and runout sections detract? Would you do it again? Quote
CFberg Posted July 24, 2009 Author Posted July 24, 2009 Yeah I would Do it again, the route is a lot of fun, with good belays, just a little short though, It could be done in 2 full rope pitches. Quote
