Comments: Felt harder than Mountain Momma to me... Not sure how you can really climb the lower section in as few pitches as mentioned... I climbed well past the first pitch anchors to start, and could not have made the bolted anchors mentioned as the to finish pitch 2 without a ton of rope drag.

Comments: Anyone leave a piece of gear at the W in the last 2 weeks? I have it if you want it back...

And again - more gear left at the W... (June 30)
What's up with that?

Comments: There are 3 apparent exits from the last gully - the first dihedral appears longest and starts before you get to the top of the gully. The second is right at the top of the gully (the one I did), and the third appears down and right from the top of the gully. Input from others who have climbed this route would be welcome!

Comments: The 5.7R var. to the 2nd pitch I recall being rather spicy... poor pro with committing slab moves.

Comments: 5.10 variation is worthwhile I thought...

Comments: We did this in 8 pitches - 5 of them 65M or so. 3 pitches to the ledge at pitch 5 on Procrastination. 2#6, 1#5 and 2#4 camalots would probably be enough big stuff. Personally wouldn't want less than that. Great climbing through the off-width and well protected if you bring big stuff - it doesn't climb like a hard-core off-width pitch (no super heinous groveling, hand-fist stacks, etc.) We finished on the Perkins(?) var. at the top unwittingly... at the second to last belay... more >>

Comments: Any ideas about a route RIGHT of Second Coming? Starts to the right, ending on the right side fof the 1st ledge, goes straight up staying right of second coming on the second pitch through a loose, dirty crack with a loose flake, then up over a large flake to the ledge right of second coming, and up the left facing dihedral about 60 or more feet right of Second Coming dihedral before traversing horizontally left to end up on top of the pillar right of the last belay on Second Coming. My first ... more >>

Comments: Any idea what the bolted route under the roof left of Warpy Moople is?

Comments: I agree that the best approach is from below, up the Piedra Lisa trail to the Rincon. Descending Chimney Canyon is probably the fastest unless you down-climb the Knife-Edge. Favorite run/scramble in the Sandias!
