Comments: nice job on the new routes bob, I loved this area when I lived in wyo, used to live in lander so we would climb here all the time, back in 2003 a buddy and myself did two lines, one on the back side of the moon stone and one on lankins backside as well both 5.10 friction with pins in seams and minimal bolts. Its a great area and perfect if you want to get some solitude away from sinks canyon....keep up the psyche!!!!

Comments: this is a super good route, did it in 2003 while going to school at UW, on the last pitch there is a straight up .11 variation and .10 variation going right, both are excellent face routes with adequate pro.

Comments: Could be, Bob. We did all three pitches in around an hour and since we're slow... Seemed like the Flake Route was more of a rope stretcher and went up a bunch higher on the Dome (but still not full rope lengths).

On the list for a repeat, though, and I'll mind the rope length a bit more closely. Cheers!

Comments: Yea, what a cool route. You can't believe you're so fortunate to have found such a cool place to climb to boot.

Comments: With all due respect, I think you may have mis-measured the pitch lengths.

Comments: Can also top out by climbing up and to the right of the edge of the roofy area above the last belay station. Then walk back around to the left (above the roof) and follow low angle slab back to the base.

I have in my notes that the third pitch is 35 meters, and the first and second pitches are 30+ meters. Makes for at most a 400 foot route rather than 3 pitches and 600 feet.

P1: 3 bolts. P2 4 bolts. P3 3 bolts. At least that's what my notes say (!).

Fun route!
