Comments on Mickey Mantle
By Karl K Nov 20, 2006 An alternate start is to begin on the arete directly underneath the roof move. Very hard to protect, but only about 5.5 to the 'move'.
By Ted Smith From: Surprise, AZ Feb 5, 2008 I found this climb to be a confidence builder, being a fairly new climber. The thin wall was challenging while the overhang was more scary than difficult. Will take some time before I am ready to lead it due to the fairly high first bolt.
