Name That Route, Volume VII
|
|
Cloak and Dagger? |
|
|
Hotlanta |
|
|
Modern day migs? |
|
|
Daniel pins it down. View is from the top of the Hooker Buttress. |

I have an idea but can't post a photo. Would anybody be able to post in my place if I happen to be correct? |
|
|
My guess is the direct northwest face of half dome. Ignatius you can always open it up to anyone if you get it and don't have anything to post. Daniel there's no rule that saying you have to climb a route to post it in this thread. |

Kevin Kwrote: Ok Kevin; I'll take your suggestion. It's not the Direct; the lower pitches don't look anything like that. Not Tis-sa-ack either. From that chimney/cave low down, which I think was used as a bivvy site on the FA, I'm going for Queen of Spades. |
|
|
Yep, Queen of spades. Those opening squeeze chimney pitches look so cool, but I would certainly bail before the stacked pitches of A4 expando above |
|
|
Those opposed hooks sounded quite exciting as well! As mentioned above I can't post a photo. Kevin - would you like to dive in? I expect that you'd have got to the right answer at some point. Failing that, it's open for anybody to post up. |

Thanks Ignatius, I've let others go several times so I'll take this opportunity. Location is familiar to many so name the route. Not steeple Not the Fowler. Al, only us old guys call it that. :) It's now referred to as the minor dihedral. Not the major Not the minor Not railroad tracks either |
|
|
N. Ridge Steeple? |
|
|
Fowler Route ( forget what Kelsey calls it) on Haystack? |
|
|
Major dihedral? |
|
|
Must be the Minor Dihedral then but could be inferring too hard on the way you wrote “Not the Major” |
|
|
Railroad tracks? |
|
|
Here is another one of the same route that might give a little more information for the routes location. |
|
|
Southern wall left? |
|
|
Nice Matt. Great route with not the best name!
|
|
|
I’ve always wanted to do that route! But we climbed lost temple spire instead primarily because it had a better name. |
