Anyone that has this on the list. Get it down before the big shake comes as many of the features won't be around after.

The highlight of the climb was watching the RV burn down on the hwy below. Wow. :twisted:

If you plan on rapping this route I would bring all kinds of slings to replace most stations as they are shitty.

Anyway the snow is mostly gone and the descent is probably just as fast as rapping with just a bit more of a quad burn.

Anyone else want to comment on the soft grade of this route???????

I rapped that route at night a long time ago and I swear I could hear circus music playing off in the distance :lol: . I'd rather walk!!

Its actually a pretty easy walkoff. Too much loose rock and tangled rope potential for rapping the route unless its an emergency.

It feels easier than Snake but what do I know. I'm certain those top slabs were way harder when drilling on lead and lichen covered.
