powderhound Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 So I got off route on the first pitch of outer space. I didnt really have any idea where i started but I pretty much climbed a full 200+ straight up to the 3rd pitch anchors? The climbing was good for a while and then it got blank and dirty. I was all ready to bail and leave behind a #2 cam in pod but I figuered I would give it one more go and I clipped a locker to the thumb loop and set off for some unprotected slab climbing. I am curious if anyone has a topo that shows all the routes that are there at the base of outerspace? Some dudes who just finished were packing up at the base and must have thought I was crazy as we started after 3pm! alpine start:) just for you John. They watched me get off route and then get scared, thanks for sticking around to see that I got through the pitch safely, MUCH APPRECIATED! Bryan Schmitz Quote
counterfeitfake Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 You mean like a guidebook? Is this good enough? Quote
powderhound Posted September 14, 2010 Author Posted September 14, 2010 no.....like one that shows all the variation that have been done, but thanks for the google link, didnt know what a google was. you wanna spray me, lets do it in spray, not when I have a real question. I have the guidebook you d bag. Quote
powderhound Posted September 14, 2010 Author Posted September 14, 2010 anybody know of anything that goes pretty much straight up from the tree to the main ledge? Quote
telemarker Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Are you thinking the RPM, 5.10b start? That pretty much goes straight up to 2-tree ledge, through a small roof. Probably the best start to O/S. Quote

I have the guidebook you d bag. You get lost on the most well-traveled trade route in the state, you should expect to take some shit. So you're looking for a secret route that isn't in the guidebook? Maybe you did a first ascent, check with summitchaserCJB. Quote

Probably the best start to O/S. yeah thats what I thought at first, maybe they share the same start, but I think its about twenty feet right. I really wish there was a photo that shows RPM, and then the regular starts to O/S. I was pretty ripped at the time and I just was climbing, straight up! None of this meandering BS looking for gear, lol. But yeah I guess I deserve some shit for getting off track on the first pitch. Quote
kukuzka1 Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 I just was climbing, straight up! None of this meandering BS looking for gear just like a drop a water would fall Quote

It was good to meet you and John and yeah I though u were crazy. Jason and I were relieved to see you pull that off without incident Quote
kukuzka1 Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 Emilio Kukuzka? moms italian dads polish. problem? Quote
j_b Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 what problem? (except deciding on what's for dinner tonight I was merely noting your propensity to refer to famous climbing figures. Quote
kukuzka1 Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 I know. its all good, im really a norsk Quote
Off_White Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 Emilio Kukuzka? Every once in awhile you let slip the fact that you really are a climber. You should do that more often. Quote
David Yount Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 That 2nd Pitch of RPM is 10b and totally fun, a right facing corner with great jams and liebacks. Pulling that lip at top is mind expanding. Or, you can avoid the roof pull by breaking out left, and more left, left some more, to gain the chimney feature. Quote
