| This was the first sport route I ever established...on rappel with a hand drill over several nights after school in the fall of '01...it was in early November or so, and after I got the holes in, it snowed and winter set in...I returned the next March to put in the bolts and send it with my dad, who waded through thigh deep snow up to the cliff to help me finish it off, what a guy! I haven't been on it in over 5 years, but it could probably benefit from some re-engineering in spots to make the clips more sensible, and I remember a bit of a run at the top...any thoughts from those who've climbed it recently? Glad to see the Shield getting some attention, it's a pretty cool cliff, especially for crag-starved Jackson locals... |
