Trip: Liberty Bell - Liberty Crack

 

Date: 9/11/2011

 

Trip Report:

John and I climbed Liberty Crack yesterday. Seemed like a properly named route to climb on 9/11. My thoughts were with the many lost, especially the 343 bothers in the fire service. Also a time on the summit to remember friends lost in the past few years.

 

The climb was straight forward. I didn't expect such good quality climbing throughout. Great route and great fun. Only one other party on the route, and we managed to get by them a few pitches from the top. The crux of the route was getting to the wall. Fun chimney climbing up the moat on kitty litter was character building.

In memory of my friend FF Terence Goldberg, lost in the line of duty, and all those lost on 9/11.

Still snow at the base!?!?
