Comments: Earlier this year I noticed a pin on the rock traverse for the first time. I love that little bit of spice, it redeems the rest of the pitch!

Comments: I'm with Jeremy, I'd love to hear the first hand account.
I know the KB placements that you mentioned Jeremy, I cannot imagine free climbing above these, they shifted as I reached up to the roof.
So whats left at sundown, the two roof cracks to the left of toothless grin (a3, a4), razor crack (c1) (this will go), I know there is an umcompleted line that traverses the left hand margine of the right roof (a4)
Band M has some unsent winners as well, I know that some have seen TR attempts. Wha... more >>

Comments: You can pretty much do anything up there, there is so much ice everywhere it's just a matter of what you want to get into. Any of the slab routes can be done to skip central couloir's lower section. You will just traverse over rom wherever you top out. I've been up there a few times now and I don't think that I could point out any of the slab routes, just aim for bulges and pro. Greens was a lot easier than I expected it to be. I've had some strong friends go up there and have interesting e... more >>

Comments: I agree, i know this area by sight not by names. On any given day out there i have no idea what I'm on, not that it really matters. But for curiosity's sake. I would volunteer but i have no idea!

Comments: I don't know Lee, I just started going to trollville this year. I'm a fairly solid 4 leader and it was pretty wild getting onto that pillar. I came in from the right with rock gear placed a screw behind the pillar and punched it. Great crag.

Comments: I'll second that, I signed up to lead this as a WI3 leader my first time on it and was supprised to find out just how steep the direct path was. My belayer the whole time reassuring me that I shouldn't be scared, "...it's only a 3"

Comments: Come'on, no need for any brushing. Adds to the sense of adventure. I still say the top would be a megaclassic for first-time leaders if it wasn't guarded by the beast!

Location: NH : *NH Ice and Alpine Climbing : Mt. Willard : Gulley 1 (WI4)
By: nhclimber When: Jan 4, 2010 | view comment >> |
Comments: There is a THIN direct start on the slab beneath the climb that is 3/3+x and a variation that I haven't done that looks great. Variation being Gulley #1.5, there is a distintive 'V' notch on the right at 2/3rds height. Some ice, some snow, some rock will get you to the top, I don't know the grade of this one.

Comments: Awesome photo David! The top is cruiser fun even if mungey, It would be a 3 star .3 if it started on the ground and was clean and make for a great first lead. Right as you transition out of the wide you have to hit a flat block that is a little mossy, but at that point anything feels easier. Glad you went and looked.

Comments: Are you sure? I have always thought that the crack to the arete is barnacle bill. Start in the cave move left along the crack till you can stand up and work up the arete. The variation moves up right from the start of BB and finishes on the right hand arete. Maybe v5

Comments: Classic photo! Thanks for the additions. What's the story behind this one? John Bragg reading the baghdiva Gita(sp) to someone (jeff pheasant?) placing the anchors on pitch 2?

Comments: There are 2 'bolted' lines that look cool to the right of the ow. The bolts are suspect from the ground and they would need hangers. Like the rest of this short wall they are very overhanging. I may do some maintence on one of them and see if it'll get some traffic. There is also a kinda crappy/loose looking trad line up and obvious eroded dike.

Comments: Nope, no pics. My camera has been dead while we've worked this badboy. 4-5 of us have given several go's on lead with no success yet. The initial grade we gave it was .10d and as our attempts are thawrted we are bumping the grade up to were it is now. Please give it a go to help confirm the grade. I think i listed the pieces above, but if you have an old green bd 5 it doesn't set as well as the WC 6 does but it does fit. The bottom protects well with the 3 pieces. Right side in down low i... more >>

Location: NH : Whitehorse Ledge : 2. South Buttress : Wonder Wall : Rain Dance (5.9)

Comments: We went to go climb RainDance this past weekend but I loss my desire for the obscure and awkward before roping up. I think this pitch looks great and will definity do it soon. FYI the webster book calls the ow on the 3rd of Wonderwall .9 and protects with a large nut. We used a wc 5&6 and STRUGGLED up this thing, it's only about 12' high but it packs a punch.
