Comments: This climb can easily be done in 3 pitches with a 70 meter rope. Rather than end the second pitch in the alcove where the Lean Lady squeeze is located, climb the crack outside of the alcove (a few tricky moves, but the holds are there) to the big ledge above it. A 70 meter rope will then get you to the easy scrambling area at the top of the pitch.
If you're over 180 lbs, forget trying to do the squeeze. My partner is a fit 190 lbs, and I'm a fit 215, and neither of us could make it through t... more >>

Comments: A few thoughts on the above comments:
The climb is probably a little more than 100 ft. right of Tunnel Vision. Photo #6 above helped us find the start with no problem.
We took a #5 Camalot and used it enough (2 or 3 times) that we thought it was worth towing along.
The 2nd pitch is easily stemmed; no heel-tow OW technique needed.
As mentioned above, with a 70 meter rope pitches 3 and 4 can be linked.
We did the route Nov. 2 and had sun on the first few pitches of the climb... more >>

Comments: As of October, 09, the hangers are back on at the bolted anchor atop P2. The variation to P.3, which clips a bolt just above the bolted belay and then heads a few feet left to a shallow right facing corner/crack, is excellent, soft for 5.8, and well-protected all the way to back into the chimney. You will have to run out the last 15 feet or so of the chimney, but the rail on the left edge of the chimney offers amazing holds and the stemming is easy. In the tunnel, DO NOT go up past the chockston... more >>

Comments: It's a great route. If you don't like run out climbs than bring a few large cams. Be sure to give your self plenty of time to climb it, as there are no bolted rappels so you have to topout and hike down.

Comments: Was out scouting around today in the wind, and noticed that though a pretty stiff breeze was blowing, the base and tops of these routes were quite calm due to the reletively sheltered location.

Comments: Really fun route. The last two pitches are the best in my opinion and the third pitch just sucks. I was able to place one micro-nut in the tunnel but I didn't look really hard for other placements. The tunnel isn't as scary as some have said, it's just really fun unusual climbing.
