Looking for any trip reports that anyone might have or know where to find regarding Isaac on the Three Patriarchs. Or any other info regarding the route that might be helpful. I have heard that the single bolt rapels are now all two? Just looking for some beta Thanks

if the route in question is "tricks" - then the following may apply:

you can rap the route as of march 2005 although some anchors were singe bolts (not sure now)

hb offsets and 00 tcu's help on the aid pitch

if hauling, climb the chimney pitch (mines of moria) to the point where you come stright out to the edge, pull your haul line up the pitch (through the chimney, and drop it back down to bottom of the pitch - since you'll now be directly above your belayer - now way can you haul up the chimneys.

best bivy is at the base of the "calvinator" pitch

Owen,

I climbed the route about 2 years ago now. All the rappels where two bolt stations. Getting from the bottom of the headwall to the calvinator pitch was a little confusing, but not hard. The aid pitch was straight forward, I used small offsets and tcu's, I would not recomend bringing cam hooks as some route descriptions sugest. Also bring a good amount of water this route gets allot of sun, so it can be hot there late in the year.

Good luck
