I remember this one ...

Led the first pitch of this last txgiving - popular climb, and a bit polished / greasy. Fun though. There was a pocket that took a tricam nicely too.

Re: I remember this one ...

I think any thing on Feudal wall will be greasy, due to the traffic. Did you climb the second pitch of this route? We tried to figure it out several years ago, but wound up having to back down because we figured we were off route..

Re: I remember this one ...

Thanks for jogging my memory :) I only led the first pitch. We were also confused by the second pitch. The bolts shown in the book were not there, and we couldn't see how the climbing in that vicinity would be 5.6.

We veered right, into a chimney, then left, out from under a chockstone. My partner led that one, and he had some horrendous rope drag after the chockstone. Still, it was kind of a nice adventure.

Re: I remember this one ...

Well, I will take some consolation from knowing we weren't the only ones who couldn't figure it out...
