Hey Carolyn, did this route yesterday & really enjoyed it (with the exception of the belay station between Ps 1 & 2)! I personally thought the route was 5.7 in a few places, with the awkward final lieback/mantel (avoidable via a 5-second class 1 walk to the R) a 5.8.

Yeah, that was a fun route. Did you miss that first belay too? I sure did, it was a pain & quite awkward as I recall. Yeah, I remember that there were a couple strange mantels. I'm not very good with ratings -- you're probably right -- sometimes things seem a lot harder (or a little easier) to me than the rest of the world!

This seems more like Harvey's Wallbangers, left, to me. We went left and fell into your beta. I saw two dudes free solo the center line and it seemed different that this. I'll have to check my super topo book, i think that's were i saw it...

Hi Squishy, when were you there? We were there this past weekend. Yes, the Harvey's Wallbangers Center, Left, Right -- it's all confusing to me, even with topos. Don't the left and center converge too? Maybe it is left except we didn't start up the crack to the left of the boot shaped flake... that's why I called it "Center"... but I'm really not sure.

We were there as well, we did Harvey's Wallbangers in the morning then Knapsack. I wanted Deception but my partner wasn't feeling so good so we finished with an easier one. I think I may be ready for Bears Reach soon, I'm still learning though...

Wow, cool! I took a new climber up Knapsack crack. We probably started climbing at about 10:30 or 11:00. I have no idea if I saw you or not but I think you spoke with Craig -- I think he's going to chime in here in a minute. :^)

You didn't mention you were a SP'er. Thanks for coiling up my cord for me when I had no hands. It was nice to meet you, maybe I could get out climbing with you guys some day...
