Comments: A bit overbolted for someone solid, but I just skip the unneeded ones. Great for new leaders to push hard, and it's fun to have those areas for them. Nice and sustained but with plenty of rests to milk if you want and good footwork keeps it from being too hard. Be very careful lowering off this route, make sure your belayer knows what they're doing.

Comments: Jason are you sure this route is where it's pictured in your new guidebook (pg.31 #80)? Starts overhanging on jugs outside the amphitheater next to the trail with a big log/fence post running underneath it? I only bouldered the first few moves but didn't see any real gear. Might be better with just a pad or maybe I'm just totally in the wrong spot? Is there a good piece up higher?

Comments: As of 8/20/2009 you could have definitely rapped off good stations with a single 70m. We carried leaver slings/nuts but it wasn't necessary. The normal rap stations are in good shape.

Comments: Climbed this morning, hitting the snow just before 7am. Clear night and good snow conditions. A few melted out spots, but they're short and most of the snow is solid. One mixed step on the Leia finish to get back to the snow since it's melting big time for about 5 feet. Off the snow before the sun ever hit.

Comments: The first bolt is definitely high for most people. I placed a mid-sized stopper about 10 feet below bolt one. The first two hangers are not the greatest, but I blew a foot and fell on the first one and it held fine. The route was fun and a good lead for me. It was getting cold and dark so I lowered off a couple heavy ovals and didn't scramble up to get them. As of this post, they're in good shape to stay on the route or as booty. The flakes, especially lower down are not totally solid, so I woul... more >>
