Comments: "-Bill also led pitch 6 and says the wide section was the hardest thing he has ever climbed. I call bullshit he had just finished jugging 500'. That being said bring a #6 camalot and pull on it."--Ben Kiessel
-While it may not really be the hardest thing I have ever climbed, it WAS the hardest thing that I have every climbed with a summer sausage in my pocket!

Comments: I linked the 11th with the 12th traversing pitch. On the 12th I only clipped fixed gear and one or two of my own because 1: the second could lower out on the preexisting gear and 2: to lower rope drag because I was linking. I found this to not be too scary and it worked quite well. Seems to me that if placing a lot of gear the second would have to back lead and if not linking, hauling would be a PAIN. Although, the rope drag that was there made the hook moves at the end of the pitch quite ex... more >>

Comments: Matt P and I climbed this (Matt leading) via Todd's route on 3/15/08. The anchors on top consisted of a small tree and a pin (could use a little TLC... It is a pretty small tree) but we did add new cordage and a rap ring. I'd say bring some webbing just in case. Fun end to a great weekend.

Comments: Jerk! Stealing my lead! (I'm talking to Ben K.) The Basketball sized block was the one seen below Jeff Achey in the picture in the Indian Creek guide. I grabbed it and it fell into my lap. So, It's now gone making the move a little harder? Anyway, it was a great route, or at least as good as it can be when someone steals your lead! Just joking Ben.

Comments: This is a great route! Though a little loose and heady down low, I felt the rating to be close enough. Maybe 10+/11a would be better? I fell at the last bolt but as soon as I found the holds the move was not too bad. All in all I found it easier than the hike, but that's another story.
