Hasn't voted | My friend and regular climbing partner, Josh Lagalo (jlag), did a little reconnaissance on Snibble Tower. Your topo and route description was quite helpful. We didn't top out on the formation--climbing in t-shirts this time of year isn't wise. We did, however, ascend to the top of the aid pitch by climbing straight up the steep bolted face above the opening 5.9 bolted pitch. I'm curious about the grade: the going is steep and the rock is...well the rock is likened to a bag of crushed graham crackers. I'd like to get back on this route and take a stab at that incredible looking diahedral before more traffic or bigger people decimate these holds (I don't know how to aid). |
