Comments: Or rap back to ledge with one rope - 100 feet, and then rap Bush Pilots.
It looked like there might be some hazard of getting your rope stuck if you try the full 2 rope rappel.
You can also approach this route from Bush Pilots.

Comments: Crux is at bottem & has good pro & fun moves. The middle is easy & a bit runout. The rap is off a triple bush at the top. One of the 3 bushes is completely dead as of 11/2009.
The route No Laughing Matter starts 20 feet right of the anchor.

Comments: Very fun for about 15 feet of very overhanging lieback. 5.10+ if you're tall. Easier if you're short so you can scrunch your feet up.
One of the bolts on top is very old.

Comments: There is a good toprope line or two 15-20 feet right of Sardonic Lady. Go straight up where the dotted line slants up right. Several variations all good. We belayed from above since it's over 100' long. Another toprope line is to start near Babies on Fire and go up and left, crossing Stonewall Squeeze up high.

Comments: There is a broken off piton 2/3 of the way up.
If that were replaced with a good bolt, it wouldn't be runout.

Comments: You can "carefully" rap with one 60m rope.
You have to stop on the ledge next to the big rotten chimney. This ledge is 10 feet left and 6 feet higher than the start of Kemosabe & Tonto, Just before you run out of rope and are about to slip off the ends, your feet will hit the ledge. This won't allow a toprope since the ends of the rope do not reach the cruxy start of Kemosabe.

Comments: yes, a hold broke just over the roof.
In June 2007 it was an awesome 11a route.
By Aug 2007 there was now a kinda nasty harder move added.

Comments: In my opinion the face move at the start is the crux and the pro is somewhat questionable.
It's about 95 feet to a good belay where you can toprope some other routes.
Great rock.

Comments: As David said, Vogel's topo is slightly off at the start. Climb the first 15 feet of Capt Hook and then step right.
The rap at the top is 95 feet, not 130.
Good route!

Comments: The crux seemed like 10d, and harder than that if you are 5'8" or under. A couple of small cams will fit along the way.

Comments: I placed a nut just above the old 4th bolt to back it up,
and a few other cams along the way. Good climb!

Comments: Fun route. You can place some gear before starting and stepping off the approach boulder. The upper crux seemed hard to me (10d+)
