Comments: Really only good for, if you don't want to do all three pitches of Laceration Jam. Beware of the choss on top and warn your belay down below.

Comments: A great and classic route. just so your aware the final traverse is ballzy for the leader and second. The traverse when my brother climbed it was protected with a micro nut. Bring webbing for the top anchor to tie off the eye bolts, they stick out and you don't want to put extra force by threading the rope threw the eye of the bolt. A great climb and super fun.

Comments: If your in the parking lot, why not? It's an awesome summit and a very cool move to get on the summit. Its really easy but cool. bring a couple of slings, a tcu or two, a couple of nuts a mid sized cam.

Comments: One of the most amazing 5.8 climbs I have ever done. Moon light ridge is a great and safe sport crag and if you get here climb this route.

Comments: Just climbed this route and the start is great. It is not to polished and it is very crimpy, in a good way. I really didn't notice that the second bolt was placed awkardly because of the rockfall, so I don't know. Anyways this is a great route and comes highly recommended.
The start and finish are the cruxes in my opinion, and no I don't believe it is a number grade harder because of the rock fall.
And this climb is very well bolted for anyone who is wondering. Have fun.

Comments: Just went to casket this last weekend 2/15/09 and this climb is a full WI climb(something like the big blue so WI3-5, depends where you climb it), until the crack at the top. This and the Big Blue are the only good ice in at this point in the year.

Comments: haha, good thing she isn't climbing on a static rope and that she has a locking biner clipping the rope to herself. I guess you could call her a

Comments: Is there any place for pro towards the top or is it run out?
I see there is a #3 bd nut placement on the summit block, is that the last placement? if so how far is the top from there?

Comments: Hey Eric, Your best bet is to check out the nearest gym. They should have some classes to get you on the right track.

Comments: This climb is classic and a must do. The crux is coming out of the cave/ hole in the route but is protectable.
When your on top of this climb you can then go down a tree rooted gully (easy, not to sketchy) or you could do kind of a second pitch and climb Sentinel Crack which starts on the just on top and to the left of Lost Ego. Sentinel Crack, another classic climb and a must do.
