The Dalai Lama (aka Viagra)

Known as "Viagra" in the Ryan Hansen guide book. 5.10+ Jun 11, 2010

How's the rock quality? Didnt look great last time I was there. Jul 2, 2010

This a hard lead. The gear is there but at your feet in a few places.
This thing looks easier then it is. It gets harder and harder the higher and higher you go... Sep 9, 2010

First lead Steve Sangdahl and Rob Lemon 1982. This one was hard. I remember old Rob was worried I was gonna rip gear and land on him. I assured him it was better if I landed on him than the ground and that he would be fulfilling his belayer obligations to the highest level. Rob wasn't buying it. Rob was a great friend and true DLFA character,he passed away a few years ago. He was a Buddhist at heart. Can we name this something other than viagra? I propose "The Dali Lama". Hope that doesn't sound blasphemous. RIP Rob. Nov 30, 2015

I accessed the top from Post-Coital Snuggle to set a TR and only saw one bolt. The route is fun. It would be nice to not have to mess around with gear as the rock quality at the top isn't great. The rock also looked suspect in places during the climb. Jul 9, 2018

@Ben Clark One anchor bolt? The anchor bolts were installed 2 years ago, bommer glue in bolts and still should be there...Also, there are no on route bolts, as it is a trad climb or a TR. Jul 9, 2018

When we got to the top we could only see 1 bolt, so I supplemented that one bolt with gear to set a TR. Jul 9, 2018

I will look into this issue this weekend on Sunday. Planning on heading up there. I hope it wasn't force removed or worse yet failed after simple use? I will get to the bottom of it... Jul 19, 2018
