Looking up at the first pitch of the Southwest Buttress from our anchor above the larch tree. It starts out very easy but gets real at those two blocks you see half way up.

SLLLAAAAAAAAAACKKKKKK!!!!!!
At least Martin WAS leading (and led it well) and not me. Thanks, buddy! It was an excellent entry to the climb. | | Posted Jun 22, 2004 12:50 pm |

Hasn't voted | I agree. I would recommend this pitch over the ledge traverse above the chockstone described in Selected Climbs. It gives you an additional pitch of nice climbing on the route. | | Posted Jun 25, 2004 1:29 pm |

Hasn't voted | Yeah, it looks sweet! I heard it was 10b face to get to the undercling then the crack is sustained 5.9. | | Posted Jun 21, 2006 10:32 pm |
