Liberty Crack 

Approach (pitch) unroped on 4th class is a little spicy in tennies. Scrambling up in rock shoes would have been better, setting up first belay below the 11 pitch.
We did the crux aid move w/o a hook. Would have been nice, but we didn't think it was needed. But do bring the offsets and micros, you will use them. Superb route.

This is a truly classic line up a strikingly steep face, one of the longest sheer granite cliffs in the state. We climbed it in two days, employing the usual fixing of ropes to the top of P3. Fast parties should be able to get up this thing in a long day, and knowing the route now, this is how I would climb it.

There is a ton of fixed gear on this route, including several pins spread out over the free pitches. The aid was straightforward. The hook move is not necessary, but is awesome nonetheless, and why not? It's worth it just to place a hook that could hold a fall!

Anchors are all very good bolts or decently sized trees. Thank you to the party(ies) responsible for placing these and some of the newer protection bolts.

Still snow on the approach, as of 8/13. My only beef was the SHIT on the ledge top of pitch 6 or 7!
If you have to take a shit don't leave it on the ledge MF. PACK IT OUT!

I'm not a badass free climber or anything and we got it done in 4.5 hrs base to summit with a bit of simulclimbing up to 5.8 and short-fixing the pitches low on the route. Fixed anchors made this easy on us.

If you want to enchain with Thin Red Line as we did (which for comparison took us 8-9 hrs), look into possibly rappelling back to the base instead of hiking off the back then to the black asphalt road (HOT!!!!), which took 3.5 hrs from the notch at the base of the becky route to the start of TRL. If you opt to hike off the back (standard descent), it might be worth having a 2nd car to stash at that TH.

the snow at the base was sketchy with my slick soled tennies and no crampons.

We did this easily in one day no fixing, leaving the car about 9:00 AM and the base of the route at around 11. We finished the raps and the descent gully as it was getting dark.

We brought two alpine aiders for each of us (very light), no pins hammers etc but if I did it again I would bring a couple of bashies, some of those 3-pronged hooks and a hammer as some of the bashies are crap.

I would bring a light alpine axe, no crampons, and not too much gear. Once you are done the roof pitch (bomber A1) which is pretty straightforward the rest is cruiser.

Great route in superb position.

I'll agree with dirtbag and hari. We went car to car in 9.5 hours (7:00 > 4:30), no fixing. This was 22 Sept 2000. It was snowing the night before as we bivvied by the car but the morning was clear as a (Liberty) bell. I was expecting scary old bolts but to my delight it had just been re-bolted.

A question though... where do you use hooks? We only had a regular rack of nuts and Friends.
