The cool belay spot. After the crux and some 5.9 you get to this spot. A very old bolt, placed on the FA is still there. Amazing historical piece, please leave it alone. Levy and Rachel caught up to us here as we were getting ready for the last two pitches.

Comments: I wish to thank whoever added that 3/8 bolt to the belay at the end of P4. The other two BRONZE colored 1/4 didn't give me good feelings.

I agree with the PG and not a R .... unless you do what I did and not bring anything over 3 inches. That made Pitch 2 really serious for me.

Good route.

Comments: WE always called that aera, the "dihedrals" ... "Pea Soup"... Fred Beckey's long aid line 5.8 A3. If free is the "Emperor" 12C. is a few feet... 80? to the left.

That crack you see is Ewok.

Lots of great climbs start on this ledges

Comments: Ben, sounds like Walter got luckey.

I was very lucky to have Mo, he was very loyal and would stay with my gear and not leave. I never had critters eat my pack.

He lived to be 14.5 years old.

I miss you buddy.

Comments: ""While this route is fairly new, no information is available regarding the details of the FA or its original name.

Comments: Knot trying to be a jerk, but how come Mt. Project always tells us to use Helmets.......

I don't own one, never needed one.

But to me its just a personal preference, I dont care if you use one.

Whats next?

You going to tell us what shoes to bring???

And I hope that Ben Chapman dude dosen't get this place closed because of his weak, "me first" ethic. Ben you don't need to put up crappy short climbs anymore, OK. We are growing tired of all the dead plants, chopped holds, poor bolt placemen... more >>

Comments: Kris Solem and I did this climb in 1991. We did the second free ascent, 18th overall. Bill Levanthal and Rachel McCollum were right behind us the whole way... they also did it fee. This is a big adventure climb, the summit of CRS is, IMHO, the most difficult one in California. No need to bring a BOLT KIT at all... that would be a pretty weak thing to do. The whole thing is covered in good cracks. The "historical bolt" is the only one found on the regular route. It was placed because those boys d... more >>

Comments: Crux pitch. Pretty good butt shot no? I was pretty busy belaying Kris on this pitch but I broke out the camera anyway. The goal is to get to the roof, turn it to the left and continue up a nice bit of 5.9 to a way cool belay spot.
