| Working up the 5th class... | [ Sizes: Orig | Small | Thumb ] |
Working up the 5th class terrain described by Grandwazoo. Halfway up the second crack there is one 5.6 move that leads you to the top. Whatever courage I thought I had quickly evaporated with freezing winds and numb fingers. The standard route around the east side of the summit tower began to look like a lot more fun.

Hasn't voted | You're right, from the angle of the picture that lower section does look sketchy. The holds were actually very large and well spaced; it's the upper crack that got to me. There was one move about seven feet up that I couldn't get myself to do without the security of a rope or better conditions (very windy, very cold).
I'll play around with it next summer--rope included! | | Posted Oct 9, 2005 3:07 pm |

Voted 10/10 | Sometimes it's easy to get into low 5th class on the Class 3-4 scrambles. Often large blocky moves with exposure are still 4th. Regardless, it's a nice action shot. | | Posted Apr 6, 2006 6:10 am |
