Bad Pants Party... Bad Beta

Post by thebigchin » Thu Aug 04, 2005 11:26 am

McLean's new book shows it as a 1 star 10b. Just climbed it a week or so ago and it sucked!! Its absolutely filthy and the second pitch is probably more like 11a with weird bolt placement. This thing needs a serious powerwash before I would ever recommend it to anyone.

McLean says he was just going on the beta that the guy who put it up gave him but he's going to walk up and put a sign on it. Apparently I'm not the first dude to email him about it. Be wary.

wish I'd read this before I went up and wasted 3hours on it. If it were cleaned up it would be OK, at best.
I can't believe McLane put this into the guide w/o checking it out....nice journalistic integrity.
