Malemute - strawline, Loggers, OHO access

[BK]

Just a note to advise that the access to "Mears Island", the bushy ledge used to climb a number of under used classics at south end of Malemute, is much easier. The installation of a 15 foot "ladder" means you no longer have to solo a dirty 5.8 crack with a pack of gear. The actual ledge is also less bushy now. "Loggers are people Too" looks not too scruffy ( super classic) but "Strawline" is looking not as healthy with old suspect knife blades and a filthy finishing crack.

A little renovating is in order, if you ask me. Have fun!

Also before you get too outraged about a 15 foot ladder, go see what I mean first...

Thanks Bruce. Nice to see that forgotten corner of the Malemute getting some attention. Anybody who does those routes, please post up some photos.

Sorry, the only one that is in good climbing condition - Overly Hanging Out and the new ladder
