"So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life."

Wow!This puts up a fight for something so small! Approached from 13,100' on the Pikes Peak Road and crossed the marshes by Wilson Reservoir. We all climbed the West Face offwidth on the summit block cleanly. It does go at about 5.9 with the start being the hardest part. I'd recommend taking a BD C4 1-6 with double 1 and 2 (and you could likely leave out the 3). I placed a 6 and 5 in the crack and built an anchor with 2 #1s and a #2. Have fun out there.

via east face prussikI have only top-roped 2x in the last two years, and it showed on this 5.9 summit as I couldn't even aid climb it. 2 of us aid climbed the west face while 2 of us prussiked up the east face. The prussik climb was tougher than I thought.
