Tavis Ricksecker getting to know Windy Point face ...
Description
Start under (in) the tree. Stout slabby section leads to crystal climbing above.
Location
Second bolted line from the left end of the wall. Joins up with "West of the Pesos (5.11d)" about halfway up and shares anchors with "Coyote Business". Starts in the same spot as "Coyote Business".
I was probably in the 4th or 5th ascent with Paul Davidson and it was a really hard scary route. Lead it before the retro bolting and scared the crap out of myself as well. Did it yesterday and really had fun clipping all those bolts. Pretty sure RR gave the OK to retro bolt it as those two climbed together and still do. I agree with Rickd that we should not forget the past. I enjoyed thinking about how bold the lead was before the bolts and hope that everyone that does it appreciates what Ray did on the FA so many years ago.
