Re: agreed...

yeah, fun pitch for sure but felt harder than the .9 and the .10a the same day & nearby :) go figure? maybe 1st route of the day??

"Did not do the second pitch at the time...maybe time to go back."
2nd pitch looks quite good but I think that big rock horn at its base would not be missed if it were to say fall off in a controlled & safe way...

Re: agreed...

Cool looking climb. Hey Radek, did you ever climb Out Of Harm's Way on Spiderman Buttress? Just curious if you liked it.

Sergio and I tried the Viennese/Clarke traverse (IV 5.9) in the Chehalis range this past weekend. Took off Friday from work with a great forecast for Saturday. Of cource we were socked in and couldn't do it. :-( This year fuckin sucks!

Later,
Martin

Re: agreed...

Martin,
no - did 1st pitch (think the 5.7 version) years ago and just never got around to going back. Will give it a go sometime though.

sorry to hear about your failed attempt. I gave up on this year even before Labor Day weekend (that's why we went for the desert). Thought we could at least get out to D-town once more but it doesn't look it. F...ed up summer indeed!! Oh well, hopefully there's the next season. Take care!
