Great page already! How did the traverse look after Gandalf? We are planning to do it on the way from Sill to Middle Pal. Apparently, it is the crux of the traverse

	Hasn't voted	Thanks Misha. From Gandalf the next couple of pinnacles didn't look any harder than class 3-4. The view was obscured beyond that though. The section just west of Mt. Jepson looked pretty darn tough too. A sling at the summit of Jepson confirmed we weren't the only ones who thought so. Still, the Palisade Crest traverse is only 5.5. I think the section between Middle Pal and Norman Clyde is 5.7, and the route west of Norman Clyde looked pretty spicy too.

Nice work. I notice you claimed the impressive peak while I'll be left to add Rixford some time. :-)

	Hasn't voted	I was debating between this one and Owens Peak. You can beat me to that one and leave Rixford. I really can't recommend Rixford as worthy of a page though, we must have at least a dozen between us before we have to bother with it.

	Voted 10/10	Rixford is one of those, like Warren and Red, that deserves a page mostly to warn people away. :-)

Good page. I'm intrigued by the Gandalf mystery. Mathew' Freudian error set me laughing a lot, hehe

Kahuna	Palisade Crest
Hasn't voted	No one had climbed Palisade Crest for at least 17 yrs when I led the climb with Dave Vandervoet in 1984. It was his idea to do it. There were no diagrams, maps or descriptions. We had absolutely no idea what was up there or what the route was. We just did it and made a route up as we progressed. Got to the big jammed block and I went up the slab face, unsure if it would go with our mountaineering boots. Never used rock shoes, EB's, at that time, not even on the East face of Whitney; just mountain boots. Enjoyed the climb and told a few Sierra Peak members about it but no one cared until Bill Russell followed with a group a year or two later and thought it should be on the List. He followed my route description. Was one of the best peaks I ever climbed because of the mystery of making my own way. Bob Hartunian Fawnskin, CA.
