Ropeman?After you fixed this, you should have had someone climb this free using a Ropeman to get a feel of what it would be like to climb mud....."free".

Re: Ropeman?yeah. it's probably not that bad. the route must see a ton of traffic (though probably 1999 lbs of that is done A0 like us) so I'd imagine most holds/mud on this section are pretty clean....it's falling onto the drilled pitons in "mud" that could be exciting (then again it's like 3 or 4 of them in a 15 foot stretch). 10d is more than I've ever tried so did not even attempt it. thnx for stopping by Dave.

Re: Ropeman?JD,
I think you're right. It did not look THAT hard (10+) to my unaccustomed eye (but I can't say since I did not try this part free). But I also thought that upper (P3) crux was harder than it looked. Seeing it from the belay below I thought I could free it but I slipped off on the last move below the belay anchor. Maybe it's not a typo in supertopo which gives both cruxes the same rating (though it probably gives too high of a rating to both)?
The crux is standing up straight and appearing composed on the summit.
Yeap!
