| Shirley and I climbed this very fine line with Jim and Haydar in a car-to-car outing (+our dog Blondie who chose to remain at the base). This was a couple weeks after doing Burgundy Spire and so we were grateful that these guys were there to motivate our lazy asses up the nasty, shitty approach gully. What a great line!! Crux for me was 1st half of P5 (thin hands to short fingers) before the OW. Stellar rock & brilliant climbing all the way. OW was not terribly bad as it's a couple degrees below vertical (OW on final pitch is indeed easier). The opening pitch has white, Sierra-like granite. |
