| Unbelievably June 1 was perfect to climb this route in 2008. On a tower a day rampage with Joe. Not near the route as Search of Suds on Washer Woman, but fun route just the same and of course one of the 50 NA classics. Can be quite pleasant in June if you get an early start. We were shaded and cool for the whole route, but did move fast. The top of the third pitch was quite stout off width, can't protect and the bolts are so-so. Can't lie back because the edge has gotten way too smooth (Radek, how did you do that?). Turn and go right side in and look for an edge you can't see with your right hand and use some features on the left wall to reach a good hold and some pro op. Goes pretty fast and furious, we had it all to ourselves on a Sunday while folks were lined up on the North Chimney! |
