"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Muy Bien!First Sawtooth routhe and I thought it was fantastic. I thought the runnouts were over hyped and very easy. Great jamming on pitches 1,2 & 5. We linked pitches 3 & 4 which saves you time (just be sure to leave a directional or two for you follower).

Open BookI first climbed this route with Frank Florence in 1974 and liked it so much I came back and did it 3 more times. Most climbers used the large chimney to get to the crawl-under pitch below the summit but later we started using a different finish after Tom McCleod put up a route on the twin cracks that we called "Aerie". We also did the 3 variations on Feel Free but to my surprise, no one has published anything here about this route.

Open Book - good routeThis was a great route. I found the first pitch to be hardest with its 4 inch width. On the last airy section I managed to place a yellow TCU in a pocket (after the fixed pin), so it wasn't so scary.
