	Hasn't voted	Thanks. As you can see from the punched holes, it has been in my informal book of topos for quite a while. This is really worthy route and more importantly, I now have scanner so I'm getting dangerous. Cheers, Alois.

First Pitch

I just got word that this is the route that Jeff Maurer started up, pulled two pieces, and fell to his death on this fall - about midway up the first pitch. The pro is horrible at the crux, and you will be looking at ground fall from 60-80 feet on what I would estimate as hard 5.10 or easy 5.11 (5.10b/c seemed a little sandbagged to me, when comparing to Tahquitz and Jtree grades). If you do decide to climb it, please be careful.

First Pitch

Hasn't voted

The knifeblades recommended in my write-up were for the aid sections higher up. Miguel led our first pitch with clean pro,with Stoppers, RPs and small Cams if I remember correctly (it has been a while). Sorry to hear that someone might have been killed on this. When we did this all those years ago, it was a serious climb for us, possibly the hardest we have done till then. Maybe the committment remains high, even today.

	Hasn't voted	Thanks again for the clarification Alois, and props to you and Miguel for putting up this neat line. It definitely is a pretty serious pitch, but I also recall it being a very satisfying and fun one once it was all over. It sounds like we'll probably learn more about the accident in the new issue of ANAM.
