Doug Fosdick during a very short-lived winter attempt on Toe Crack and the Standard Route. January 1975.
Toe Crack 2nd Pitch
Make sure to locate your anchor low, I had to do a somewhat awkward layback to avoid stepping on mine.
Traverse from pin on repulsion (above toe crack belay) to thin air. Spooky scary!
Excellent crack
Toe Crack
This is the ultra fun traverse to get to Thin Air
View of the traversing P1 from the belay ledge anchor.
I think this is the easiest though most run out link-up to pitch 3 of Thin Air. Go up to a good ledge above the pin and the straight traverse to the flake where the spigot of wetness starts on the slab. The traverse is a pretty casual 5.3 or so.
Beautiful climb.
