Tyson.g Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Trip: South Early Winter Spire - Direct East Buttress Date: 7/21/2012 Trip Report: Gene and I climbed this route on Saturday July 21st. We were 13 hours car to car with about one hour total breaks on route, summit and descent. This was my first route on the East facing aspect and it was stunning. Here are some pics. Enjoy. Quote
curtveld Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Excellent work, lads! [ There's a classic shot of Beckey very near this spot. Frantically dug around my bookshelf and found it in Harlin's "West Coast Rock Climbs", which was one of my early bibles. Quote
Quarryographer Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Way to go!!! That one has been on my list for a while. How many of those 1/4"s with the funky hanger did you come across? Quote
Tyson.g Posted July 23, 2012 Author Posted July 23, 2012 @ Curt - it would be hard not to take that shot given the opportunity as the position is fantastic. @ Quarry - there were a handful of them although the majority of the bolts were good modern equipment. Quote
