rich bechler on the first lead of GREAT WHITE HOPE...


Description 

The Great White Hope can be found between the Birthday Crack (route 9) and the Right Twin (route 10). Climb up to the large horizontal crack using small ledges. Above the horizontal crack the climbing gets very thin. Use delicate moves on small face features to ascend to the top.

Thanks for the FA info, I'll update it. Do you know why it's called Great White Hope?

I think Great White Hope may have been led by James Loveridge in the summer of 2000. This could have been the first lead??? Does anyone know if it has been led before this?
