Comments: I belayed Eric Mercer on the second pitch and watched him do it clean. It was stunning. He said he pulled a very hard match (I tried and couldn't make it happen) to make the move. I had to pull hard with my right hand close to the first bolt after moving my feet a little higher to move my left hand on to the top hold where Eric matched, then move my right hand high right. Very tough. Never found the secret hold and heel hook talked about previously. Thins out a little in the middle of pitc... more >>

Comments: Wow! Pumpy! Stay off the right wall for more of a challenge. It seems that getting the sequence down is the key to this wall. Getting through the first bit to a nice rest is tough, but pumps you out fast so that making the second half much harder due to a couple crimps before another nice rest. I couldn't stop thinking about this route for about a week after my first top-rope attempt. I topped out but it took quite awhile.

Comments: I really struggled getting through the crux. I'm average height, but my partner's slightly longer reach made this easier for him. Thought provoking. I'll come back to this one.

Comments: Pulled off the summit on June 11 with Mike Vaughn. Great climb! The "third quarter" (Pitches 12-16) were definitely the hardest overall, although pitch 14 wasn't a sustained 5.11-, just like Tristan says. It's really just pulling that corner. Pitch 15 was thin and crimpy too. I appreciated the last pitch, even though I was tired and it was dark when we hit it. Great little roofs. It was almost disappointing to not have a super easy finish, but only because we were tired. Thanks for not l... more >>

Comments: Did the whole first half today, 1-11. Enjoyed the first 8. Pitch 9 wasn't bad and 10 was fun with a couple small chimney-esk parts. The first is really dirty, lots of loose stuff. Pitch 11 seems like it was just thrown in to get up to the next approach up to pitch 12. I didn't care for it, but at least it was easy and the scenery was great. We did go to the cave at the start of 12, but made the mistake of going too far west. Water is a must. We both had a 2qt camelbak and ran out after p... more >>

Comments: Started working on this project this week. I am very excited to see what the other pitches are like. We hiked up the huge scree to the west of the Appendage thinking it would get us to the ridge. It didn't. We ended up skipping the first two pitches to our disappointment. Time only gave us pitches 3-6 but they were very fun. I really liked the frosted flake section on pitch 5 (I think). These pitches were mostly clean. We did knock some small stuff down, but a helmet is a must. Very wel... more >>

Comments: It's a little interesting having the tree there. My other guy actually stemmed off the tree for one foot hold just for a little fun. I told him that wasn't considered "rock" climbing. It was a little disconcerting getting past the second bolt with the tree there in case of a fall, but overall an enjoyable climb and a great warm up for Flakenstein two routes to the left.

Comments: Definitely a hard start, but worth doing. We stick clipped the first bolt and that made a big difference. Had to try a few approaches on the first to get it. Loved the flake at the top. I found that once you clip the bolt just below the big flake (I think it's second down from the chains) sitting there for a rest is just a good way to get tired and make the finish harder. I thought about a rest there, but started feeling a little pumped, so I just made a few quick moves to get to the flake.... more >>

Comments: Found two or three loose bolts on this. I think they are number 2, 4 and 5 from the bottom. Maybe 2,3 and 5.

Comments: My left foot slipped just above the second bolt on this. Luckily it landed on the bolt, so I felt like I cheated a little. I moved to a new foot hold quickly but the damage had been done. The rating fits due to some variation in holds. Some smaller ones to start with bigger holds a little higher.

Comments: Maybe I used the side holds up high but didn't think this one was an 11a. That could be bc I didn't look at the rating on here before doing it. I only had the '95 Ruckman guide. Fun start though.

Comments: Bolt number 3 or 4 is loose, depending on if you count the first bolt as the one next to your shins from the landing.
