South Face, Stanley-Burgner

[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Leading the sixth and crux pitch of Stanley-Burgner route (III 5.9+) on south face of Prusik. I think the climbing looks more aesthetic than it actually is (grunt). Photo taken June 25, 2006.

	Hasn't voted	Thank you very much Martin. Maybe I'm too old and jaded, but I did not find this route as "classic" as some suggest. This corner was not that fun either - ledgy, weird cracks (from none to huge OW's) and I ran out of gear. The best pich IMHO was pitch 1 (5.8 wide crack) and the 5.9 flaring squeeze chimney (fun, fun, fun!! in the Aries kinda way :) did you manage to get out last weekend?

	Voted 10/10	Interesting. Enjoying your pics. How was the hike? Lots of windfall still? A good friend of ours got married in Spokane this weekend so we went there. Looking forward to enjoying this nice weather in the mountains over the long weekend.

	Hasn't voted	Thanks man. Hike was OK (in/out via Snow Lks.) - glad I don't have to do it again for a long while :) Not much downed trees at all actually. Small patches of snow above Snow Lakes (going fast). Plenty of dry slabs to choose from at Lk. Viviane for camping. Given last wknd's temps, ax/crampons were a waste (postholing on n. side on the descent).

You are old and jaded!

Either that, or you climb in Utah too much. Haydar has the same disease. The pitch looks cool to me :)

	Hasn't voted	Thanks Jim :) It LOOKS cool till you get on it IMHO. It goes something like: no crack to OW to bulge with finger cracks to no crack stem to OW to thin hands.

	Hasn't voted	Thank you for stopping by and the kind word Craig. High quality granite on this one in a beautiful alpine setting - think you'd like it (not sure if there are any A3+ lines on it though :)
