Description
A pretty big, way backcountry crag with a long approach and AWESOME views. I am not kidding, this is a GREAT crag and well worth the long hike/bike.
A bit of history- I first read about the Captain in an old AMC hiking guide, '73 edition ? (the orange one). The guide suggested approaching after climbing Mt Carrigan, then bushwacking down the ridge. CRAZY.
It was also referenced in an '80's mtn bike guide to the area and indeed a good view can be gotten from "hayshed field".
I first went in with my wife as part of a bike trip, seems that bradley White was in around the same time and did a one pitch route. i don't know of anyone else (mike hartrich ? ) but I sure didn't see any activity when we first did routes in '97.
Alain Comeau- " I have seen that cliff, I'll fly you if you wanna jump in "
