Organ, II, 5.6 [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Organ, II, 5.6
1st Pitch- (90’) 5.6/Climb the left outside face of this chimney on easy, but soft, ground to a flat ledge above. Move the rope over to the left and gain access to a short, but steep and sandy chimney. This “true” little chimney climb can be harder than 5.6 based on the sandy elements, how narrow it is and how undependable any facial features are. I found no protection for any of this first pitch and thought it more secure to truly use clean 5.9ish chimney technique to overcome this first short and steep chimney. You can do a tree belay at the next ledge above (there will be no fixed protection anywhere on this route- 2008).

Sort of, this is a southfacing route Radek...still plenty of snow on the northside of things and a cool down again this week...heading to Red Rocks tomorrow for warmer temps...did this with Courtney because he had this on his tic list. Joe French did a 7 pitch 5.10 in 2006...might be his...might be new...I need to ask him...he put up a summit canister and signed it that way...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
