maybe it just has a special place in my heart cuz its my hardest onsight so far........
Don't fall into that "it'd be hard for the average 12 climber" trap. Fact is, its one thought provoking move that turns out to be not so hard. Cool route nonetheless.
Not to mention, there are much harder vert routes at the lode...

Fred, explain yourself. I don't see these in the guide anywhere. WTF?
Is there really a route called Birthday Plunge? That is the name of the pit cave I am going to tomorrow. The pit cave contains are 7 drops total, and I have only dropped the first one before, which is 67 feet.
Those are all Morehead area routes. Silly Morehead climbers!
I've actually climbed two of them: Birthday Plunge (named after a horizontal handjam and a coincidental FA date so I'm told) and Emaculate Conception which is a good route. Hope the anchors have been replaced.
