Comments: Did this route 8/31/05 w/ Black Dagger finish to Table Ledge. The 2 'seldom climbed' pitches above Table are surprisingly challenging & a tad mossy, but totally beautiful and recommended if 1. time/weather allows, and 2. crowds on the Casual Route prevent you from traversing to the last 2 pitches of Yellow Wall. Steep climbing in a pretty wild location. More frequent ascents would clean up the cracks and lengthen an already amazing route. Probably wet in early season.

Comments: Sounds like Lanzano may have chopped MORE than 5 feet off his rope thus necessating having his belayer climb up to the first bolt. Lesson learned: use a 70 M rope on this route or retire your old, worn out ropes....

Comments: The first time I tried this was left side in and I got 'thrashed'. The second time up a fist jam after the bolt allowed me to stuff my right shoulder in and after a bit of sissy kicking the rest of the route was dispatched with a minimal donation of epidermal tissue. Two stars for sure.

Comments: Great Route! The begining of the second pitch was just as hard as the crux. Good sustained climbing throughout. A bit nervy at the top.

Comments: That was the best route I've done this year. Usually I hate the Saint Vrain, but his was worth it.The second pitch was amazing!!!!

Comments: I was wondering how most folks do this climb. I led it today and chose to keep my right foot pressed in the crack, stemming my left foot on the face features, and right hip up against the rock. My buddy seconded it and keep to the arete, working his left foot in the crack with his right hand and foot on the arete. Seemed easier, but my way was more fun I think.
