its still on my tick list.....

you'll need 35 bucks for a back countrypass (gives you access to the lifts too, so ya get they're faster)

2 pitches, 3 routes, big exposure, and a one hell of a narley good time..

i've started threads on rc.com about this but no one on there has done it (except one dude, i can give you his email if ya want)

i'd love to do it this season but due to afew injuries and my tendonitis i'm a 10a max climber...i'd be going for the 5.9 trad (as well i don't climb sport)

i'm headed to the bluffs today to see if my crushed fingers can at least do some cragging
Nothing like the sound of thumpin' a piton first thing in the morning...
