Voted 10/10

look like MF from this angle. how tall is it? guessing "big" given the grade IV rating. nice shot.

	Hasn't voted	800' route Radek...you can assume the rock quality is not worth a damn...I would not touch it with a 10' pole....does not seem like anybody else wants to either, try to find anyone besides the first accentors who have done it...but yeah the closer we got, the more it looks just like MF (mouth becomes more prominent)..this is the best photo I have, but it was outright uncanny the resemblance I thought..Cheers

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know."" --Rene Daumal
