yikes Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) I know that saying watch out for a loose block on Sisyphus is like telling someone to watch out for shit in a barn. ...but nevertheless, this particular block sits directly above the hanging belay and seems to be a key hand hold. Its about the size of a breadbox and is suspended about 5 feet above the anchors at the top of the crux pitch (p6 or 7 I think). It wiggled when I touched it. I think it is the 5.9 mantle shown on the topo. I had to french free to get around it. I would have trundled it but I wasn't sure whether anyone was below. Not sure what to do. Maybe someone could forward this to the route developer or a local guide. Jason Edited July 4, 2013 by yikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drederek Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Climbed this route last sunday (june 30) and noticed a missing block where you describe. If the block you're describing matched the surrounding area its already gone, if not there may be a few pieces coming out of that little stack.

yikes Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 @D: Just saw your reply. I climbed it on the 6-29. I didn't think that block was long for this world. Glad it's gone now... assuming we're talking about the same one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
