Comments: I actually didn't climb it.... Got my friend Nathan to lead it and it was getting dark as he topped out.

I'd be honored to go out there with you and Chuck! I refuse to ride the snow until it's really worth it, so that would be fun.

Comments: Wow! This thing is wild! We finally got back out there and got to the base of it with enough time. Somehow I talked my friend Nathan into leading it as I figured he would get more out of the experience then I would. He found it to be a little tough and pretty intimidating. At about the 2/3 point he was standing on a rock ledge that blew out on him, the nail that caught him was not so solid he said. Seemed he thought he could pull it out with his fingers! Also, you might want to be good at high s... more >>

Comments: Perhaps until you have climbed the route and have a good idea of what the rating is, it should not be posted?

Comments: A good way to make a camouflage anchor is to use rustable chain, not the plated stuff. After it rusts it is permanently the color of the rock, which is better than paint that eventually flakes away. The right chain can be hard to find though – my current source is Lowe's. The new chain has manufacturing oil residue which retards the rusting process, but this can be easily removed in a dish washer. Then toss it on the ground for a couple of months and it is ready to use. It may not last 100... more >>

Comments: A famous big wall climber and gun freak shot his initials into a face here using a fully automatic rifle in 1983. He shall remain nameless.

Comments: Yikes! if you zoom in and look left of the chains, there are lots of bullet holes over there, I count almost 70 of them. Looks like this area is the one that should have a climb named "Bullet the Blue Sky" instead of Penitente.

Comments: Would that fall under hold-manufacturing? Looks like there could almost be a sport line....

BTW, why does that fist crack route stop so low?
