Knights-Errant 

"Knights Errant":-Webster's Dictionary of the English Language.....a mounted knight who traveled in search of chivalrous adventures! Chris does not use his title on climbs...and to say the least he is far from being a stuffy British Knight. It was my insistence to help illustrate the name of the climb "Knights Errant"

Sounds like, "once a Knight is enough". Ha ha.
Cheers!

Notes from the 2nd ascent: 10/3/2009

What a great climb! The second pitch of this route is unforgettable, easily among my favorites in the swell. Highly recommended:

P1 - Follow the easiest line to the large ledge that is about 200 feet off the ground. There is a right leaning crack roughly 100 feet up that you'll want to gain, and that is also the first real protection. Easy 5.5 climbing to the first pro, 5.6 after that.

From the P1 belay bolts walk (literally) 100 feet right along the ledge to a single pro bolt. This is your belay for p2.

P2 - Follow Paul's description into the gully. Your goal is to climb above the large block, and then to traverse right under the horn. After passing underneath the horn, follow a short crack to a belay anchor on the horn. There is a lot of good natural protection. Extra double-length runners are helpful to manage rope drag.

p3 - straightforward, easy 5.4 climbing.

P4 - we deviated from the original route here on accident. Paul's description "From belay move directly left and climb into the obvious groove above" is literal. DO NOT climb into the dirty groove directly above the belay, instead take the less intuitive line to the immediate left of the belay and into the groove that follows. Attempting to climb the groove straight above the belay results in an unprotected traverse across the face before reaching the next belay bolts.

p5 - straightforward, easy 5.4 climbing.

We took a single standard rack of nuts and cams up to a #3 C4. We also took a red and yellow c3, which were used on the first pitch. Small nuts or tricams would suffice as well.

This route is a classic! A must do if you are near 3 fingers.

Pretty bloody fun route. The second pitch is awesome with the pitches above a little less desirable. From here on in I'm just going to do Bonnington routes as that old bugger has an eye for a line. Nice work Paul, I've been having some good adventures down on your slabs.

We had fun making the 5th ascent. The adventure level on this route felt higher than popular Red Rock climbs at the grade. You can't rappel the route after P1.

A few other words of wisdom:

• Two days after an October rain is not long enough for the sand to dry back into sandstone.

• Be prepared to start each pitch with a runout on moderate but sandy or breakable rock.

• Wandering up P2 to the horn belay is a 5.7 adventure in itself.

• As noted above, P4 starts up the steep wall out left from the belay.

• The Comeuppance rappels would be tough to find in the dark, allow enough time to scout around for each of the three anchors.

• After 3 double-rope rappels, there remains some scrambling to reach the ground -- easy but best done in daylight.
