bigwallben Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Did it back in 05' or 06' with rock wizard Drew Philbin. Borrowed Rudy's Valley Giant Cam and clipped the one bolt mid pitch. BD # 6 only worked in a tipped out position for the first 20ft of the pipeline pitch, and then was worthless... I'm sure one could use Big-bros if you're into that sort of thing. Earlier in the morning we did "Dancing in the Light" on the Apron as I recall; which provided a stark contrast of climbing styles to pipeline.. It can't be that bad since I suck at offwidths. Good luck. Oh, and having a shoe size bigger than mens 6 would help, alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuMR Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 echo Ben's comments...VG #9 is the go to piece past the bolt...not much until later but by then the climbing is waaaaay easier... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwallben Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Yeah, its not that bad; and certainly not harder than the narrows pitch on the steck-salathe. More people should do Pipeline. It is quite splitter, in an angled kind of way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreetBoss Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 To think the first ascent was solos....holy xmas. Did with crackmeister Chet Morits. He used big cams and the bolt at mid point. Big battle and well worth the ride. The approach pitrches are fun as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
