| Hey Jon, could you beef this up? Your description is pretty "thin". Did you do the problem? Do you have any pictures? Thanks |

| That was an all time great high ball back in the 1970s. Bachar showing the way once again. Tobin took a huge ripper from about mid route when he tried pulling into the crack too early. I did the 2nd ascent with Tony Yenario. There's also some exciting problems on the face around to the left, including the tricky "Buttonhead," and to the right, including Crank City, which I always found harder than the standard So High sequence.
Fond memories. Bachar was just remarkable back then to think of doing this route cordless - basically 5.12 climbing sans rope, 35+ years ago. Can I get a witness . . .
