Description
On September 4, 1983, I led the first pitch of Turkey Shoot. Maurice then led straight up a thin crack into the unknown, to the left of the second pitch of Turkey Shoot. This was difficult climbing up alternating thin crack and thin face (with only occasional protection), eventually reaching a ledge. I followed then led an easy pitch to the top.
Four bolts were placed by someone else, years later, when whoever thought he was doing a first ascent. Guidebooks published in 1988, ‘89, ‘97 give it different names. We didn’t name it.
