● Modern Guilt
Sep 26, 2025 · Lead / Fell/Hung. We initially tried to do the first few pitches of pressure sensitive to approach the crux pitch. We did the first two pitches and bailed. Once was enough. There were no bolts on the 5.9 section. My lead, vibrant memories . Later, I got to meet Eddie Joe. I don't think he remembered the route. However, his is the apocryphal tale of using oil to get out of an OW. He went back 30 years later and retrieved the empty bottle.

Oct 9, 2024 · Lead / Onsight. I did this for about the 6th time. As always, at the shattered rock I traversed left, belayed, and then climbed left around the corner of the spire, straight up a short 5.8 face, and then up a short overhanging hand crack and face to the top. The blocks comprising the hand crack have moved and are dangerous.

Jul 15, 2023 · After an aborted run up last fall, Salmanizer and I returned to replace 40+ year old bolts and missing pitons on this route. A few notes. The pitches Salmanizer describes in his 2020 post are part of several other routes diagonaling to the high times ledge. One was 5.9 x, and another was 5.9 R. The core of the route, about pitch 4 to pitch 8 remains as a testimony to extreme boldness, tempered by a pinch of insanity. Every one of these pitches has R or X terrain going at mid 10 to easy 11 on slabby or loose rock, with 40 foot run-outs. You will not walk away after a fall. As a 66 year old whose own insanity was tamed by an extremely uncomfortable ride under a helicopter straight into ICU, I think I'm obligated to give some small advice. Get an EMT for a climbing partner, and try to make sure SARS is practicing close by with a helicopter if you attempt this thing.
