Comments: For those of us who started life as sport climbers, the wide pod on this pitch may feel like the crux of the entire nabisco wall.

I actually rested in the off-fingers section due to the "pump" from the wide stuff.

Comments: Greg and All,

Kevin, the guy who got dropped by me (also Kevin) is doing okay. He broke his sacrum and is expected to make a full recovery in 6 weeks.

We thank all of the people at the craig on Sunday who helped us out with first aid, you were all great.

I made a very bone-head mistake in assuming the route was suitable for a 60m rope and was not paying attention when Kevin got dropped. I'll never make the mistake again as this has been a life changing experience.

Comments: After climbing at the monument my whole life, the consensus is that this route is better than POD : ).

Comments: A great route. Easily the hardest yet also one of the best .8's in the gorge. If this route was in yos it would be .8 though.

Comments: I agree with Dave. A great great and bold climber once commented to me that "if Stradivarius was in the Tetons their would be a book written about it."
