P.A. Corner

FA Ron ANderson Tom Sullivan 1976 named for the shoes i was using at the time,,, PA's.. LOL!!!! Aug 3, 2009

My partner's and my fave, despite the brevity of length. Cool, facey crack climbing that throws a few sporty moves at you. The top is a bit broken. The last move is piton protected. The piton seemed sound and there's a crack nearby to back it up. Aug 31, 2010

hmmmmm the pin has got to go... that was -is a clean route... Sep 6, 2010

I had wondered about that... Yeah, it's in a horizontal right after the conclusion of the crack and just before the last moves to the anchor. Sep 8, 2010

The loose rock at the top is gone.. it is still a bit loose near the top and a key jug is gone. Use caution and belay from the side. May 4, 2014

The Pin is gone, and good bolts w/ chains are on top now. It's clean Ron :) Nov 29, 2016

Ive seen the new chain anchors on PA corner- and they remove the last few moves, even though the fragile flake has long since been pulled off, there was still moves that could be made to the top of the pillar to the right, and use those anchors.. Sure its now as "handy" as a damm gym route, but that wasnt the way i did the route(1976). So now its a shorter route than it already was and the exciting finish is no longer done..Poor style to add anchors to an established route. I did appreciate whomever removed the fixed pin near the top..Sort of funny to see Jim Donini posting an article titled "Stop comfortizing routes with bolted anchors" on Super topo just recently..
