High res version of Kris Gorny on his sweet send o...
Description
Start on the left side of the north face. Off balance moves up the arete will lead you past pins, and into the middle crux where a few big moves will take you over to the right side. Finish up the right hand arete while enjoying the view.
It is true that Pete's ascent in 68 was one of the greatest single moments in DL history. Not to mention the rest of the country.
Location
Hard to miss if you are looking at it from the top of Prospect point.
Protection
Fixed pins, some old, some have been replaced with new reqruits lately. Wires, small cams.
The gear on the route is good but spaced out in places. Most of the old pins have cams and wire placements close. Just don't pass up any good gear placements and you will be fine. I would recommend putting in a few pieces at the crux in the center of the route. Make sure you use the pin & large sideways wire placement at the start. bring extra 1" to 2" cams
I think Pete's 1965 onsight lead good be one of best accomplishment at DL!
