[movebeta]look up as you pull the roof for a decent crimper on the right side. air it out, and yank to get your feet on. there's a piece at your waist when you pull the roof so don't sally out, just do it!!!!![/movebeta]...
Nice! Thanks for the movebeta, that will help me be confident in there. The gear for the top is what I was most curious about. I can asses the bottom once I get there but I really hate getting to the upper pitch to find out the top is an offwidth and I'm equipped with aliens.
Ynot, If its as classic as they say I'm sure I'll be up for climbing it again with you in the spring. As soon as the weather looks good to you hit me up for a weekday trip.
Thanks for the kind words Charlie. But the route was none of my doing, I just got to climb it first and hang a name on it. I didn't see the crimper at the crux, but I sure could have used it.
I really think the route is best done in four short pitches, less chance of rope drag, and all three of the belay perches are just too cool to miss out on.
While you're at it, if you want to be a real swell person, and want some adventure, after you do "Jungle Beat" step to the left and climb " Things That Go Bump In the Night" and put a rap sling and and quick link on a tree at the top.
