| Not sure about that, need to go to Tommy's trailer to find out, there is some gear at the crux, would be a great onsight vs working the shit out of it, then leading, has been lead old school 5.7 A1,
I think there maybe a harder var, climbing straight up vs moving right after roof, |

| Did anyone follow the cracks then split left before the ledge to follow more crack to the top? Or try the left side of that face entirely? |

| Are you talking about cracks right after the roof one go's straight up vs moving right, or is it higher, to my knowledge the left crack after the roof, has not been climbed or the face, |

| This route was originally put up on top rope by Tommy & Rob Drysdale. The name was actually Psamead Ghostdance. Not sure why the revisionists at the CMC changed it, hopefully an innocent mistake. The original name combined mysticism from the Sitting Bull's Ghostdance with the Psamead from Jack Ness mythology, which unfortunately is lost in the name change. |
