This one is much more obscure - not even on MP - despite being a classic long free climb of the 1960s! The background should give plenty of clues (photo was taken from an adjacent route). |
|
|
Nope, quite a ways further west along the wall...
|
|
|
Second coming? |
|
|
something on courtright? |
|
|
Not Hospital Not the Line. Not at the Leap Not Big Deal and not in Pine Creek Not Mammoth Crest or in the Sierra |
|
|
Hospital Corner? |
|
|
The line? |
|
|
Mammoth crest? |
|
|
A hint to keep it rolling. |
|
|
Central corner on haystack |
|
|
This is a random-ass guess, but Black Elk? |
|
|
Central Corner it is. Norm is up! |
|
|
This is going to be tough one I think, but I have to put it here because it's one of my proudest new routes. Edit: Right Prow. North Buttress of the West Maiden, Arrigetch Range. V. 5.9+ |
|
|
One of the most recognizable faces in the world, in my opinion. The Maiden. Which route on it is yours? |
|
|
James! I didn’t think that would happen so quick. We climbed the obvious prow. |
|
|
Well done. I may well have to make my way there one day. There are very few routes I have done that are worthy enough to follow The Maiden but I think this one gets close. Use that as a hint if necessary. The starting pitch of a route that gets considerably better. |
|
|
Back to Norm’s picture. I see 2 obvious prows. Did you do the left or right one. What grade. And, to further show my ignorance, what range? |
