Comments: Excellent route but if the lie back at the top is too burly you can stem to the crack on the right.

Comments: This route description is inaccurate and difficult to follow at best. It will put you on broken low angle terrain right of the edge toward the end of P3. It is possible to traverse back left to the edge from here but you only get one pitch before you are forced back onto the SE Ridge at the 'Stepped Roofs'.

Comments: Just did this route again. This was a pretty heady lead before the bolts were placed and though it was possible to get some gear in, with the addition of the bolts it is quite safe now.

Comments: The fixed cams on pitch one and two have been removed and someone put a pin (Lost Arrow) in the lower part of the fourth pitch.

Comments: I thought this was a good route. It's not what you think when you look at it from the ground, but it yields to technique and finesse without being too strenuous.

Comments: It would be nice to have a better idea where this variation goes. There is a variation that was lead by John Matson in the 80's that uses the first piece of pro on the first pitch of Athlete's Feat but instead of mantling by the second bolt, the line traverses left below the headwall and up to the first pitch anchors of Athlete's Feat from below. By all accounts it is pretty run out.

Comments: In '77, as I recall, the bashie below the fixed pin wasn't there and you had to place your own gear. Instead of adding a bolt, I think the bashie with its huge quick links should be removed.

Comments: Tried this route today and I have to agree on the Bomb rating, mainly because of the lack of pro and the large detached flake. Also it may very well be closer to an 'x', at least the way we did it. On lead I got forced left from the top of the flake (5.9) because of the lack of pro, in my opinion, the flake will come off if you fall on the nuts or cams you place behind it. Above that there is no pro till you get to the third pin if you go right from the top of the flake (.10). If you go stra... more >>

Comments: I agree with Josh. You can place a small TCU to back up the bolts at the anchor at the top of the first pitch, and it is possible to place an RP before the first bolt on the second pitch. So, you are not totally run out, but it would be nice if that 1/4" button head was replaced as it is essentially the only thing you have when you start the traverse to the arete, and it would be a bad fall if it broke.
