Comments: This is probably one of the most underrated climbing areas around; I hope it stays that way. I learned to climb there; I hope the climbing and the town never change.

Comments: exposure makes MK seem a little harder, stepping off the belay is kinda scary when doing this one for the first time. It would take a lot for the flake to blow I think, but who knows.

Comments: Dude who bolted it is Chuck Burr. Lives in T-ride. If anyone has a problem with the bolt, you are ecouraged to call him. A good opinion on this can be found at www.skywardmountaineering.com, Vince calls it like he sees it and hits it on the head. The Hose isn't the ice park and shit.

Comments: NO M6 on this route, even when there is no ice. M6 equates to about 5.9+ or 10a, none of that on this route at all. It was ground breaking when it was established, pretty moderate these days. Most of route is 5.8R chimney climbing, pretty secure. Just remember, it was soloed super fast in a lean year seven or eight years ago, and climbed with a bottle of wild turkey while knock down stinking drunk last year, just to put it in perspective, still fucking classic though.
