Comments: Tai Devore (AKA Mr. Pine Creek) is putting in so many new routes it's hard to keep track. But go into Wilson's and he'll hand you some topos for some really fine routes.

Comments: Got a left knee stuck in the off-width exit move on P-2. Never thought it would come out and had visions of that dude in Utah who cut off his arm. At first I thought it was a cool, no hands rest, only to discover the knee had cammed in there pretty good. Took about half hour to free and now my knee is the size of a small, seedless watermelon. Great route, though.

Comments: Nice. At quick, first glance almost thought it was the same o samo Ritter/Banner setup. But this is unique and wonderful at the same time.

Comments: Of historical note: John Fischer climbed this shortly after being bit by a rattlesnake on the approach. Didn't want to disappoint his clients enrolled in a beginner mountaineering course in the PSOM. But was forced to go to the hospital later that evening.

Comments: Nice work guys on a great route. You can rap with one 60m from P-5 to base with ease (especially now since the rope snagger on P-2 is gone thanks to Tai). Always glad to hear Greg is still with us.

Comments: Hello John, Belated reply for sure, but to be honest don't know if he's off-route. Likely just plugging eyebrows any which way he can. Caroline says hi!
Cheers,
Bruce

Comments: Let's see, I took this last Nov. (07) or thereabouts. No, the old showers and bathrooms were in place.

Comments: The .9 finish is not to be missed. With all that liebacking below, it adds something really special to the end.

Comments: doesn't Ruth Mendenhall get credit for FA? Just defending her because I was in love with the idea of her as a child.

Comments: Hey thanks! It's an incredible climb that brings out a lot of emotion in the climber. Almost can't go wrong. Yes, Adam, took them yesterday using a 70-200mm and wide angle for the upper half. Thanks again for the comments.

Comments: Nice route and spicy for the belayer, especially with a rattlesnake crawling out of the rope bag.

Comments: Yeah the bolt job is pretty shoddy. Lots of spinners add to the spice. And sometimes the bolts don't seem in the right place making the route finding important. Otherwise a fine route. Though I was climbing with one arm I'd still say drop the + in the 7 and just go ahead and call it a 5.8.

Comments: Found this route to be very natural. Maybe a little awkward at the bottom but still fun. Nice hand jam leads you out of the awkwardness and some stemming out onto the face. Most agreeable climb on the rock, frankly.
