when you complete the route info/description and I'll vote. I've done this one a dozen or so times and always try to do it without hands for a test. Always get stumped on the downclimb off the rocks in the one spot near the end of the rideg and the beginning of the short slog up onto the plateau. Good stuff!

Re: Let me know
I'm going to try to finish it up tonight. I had to head out to DC for a research project, and I think I'm recovered enough to get back into regular life.
I honestly couldn't see myself going down Ruckel Ridge without hands. Even go up without hands is challenging enough. But there are a few spots there, like you said, that I think are just way too hairy without hands. It might be better if the rocks didn't tend to be so slippery. Maybe I need to try it in July or something.
Thanks for checking out the page. When I get it tightened up, feel free to make comments if you think I've missed anything pertinent.
