Yeah, but if you were in a bar and a fight broke out, wouldn't you want her on your side?
I know I would.

If anybody wants to do this crack then just pm T bone. He is super cool about route development and is very reasonable. Rick has requested that routes have top anchors and that they are not R-rated. Also, some cleaning is often necessary. I looked at this route from above and I would guess it to be 5.8 or 5.9 and approximately 100 feet tall with a possible 2nd pitch as well. 8) If nobody wants to do it then I suppose I could climb it, but I already have a huge list of routes that I want to do.

I just gave Jason Haas permission to do the crack. He will do a good job cleaning and equipping the route with anchors.

Are there any other routs out there that are still up for grabs? I would love to get an FA but it always happens that someone beat me to it.

Go to sore heal. Walk up to the vol wall, start working your way right. Or, head out of the parking area the other direction from the established lines, cross the creek, and walk left once you hit the cliff line. By the time you have walked the whole cliff line, you will have passed a dozen or more cracks that need FA's. Please make sure to add good fixed anchors to any routes you do and let someone know about them. Cleaning would be great as well. Also, beware of Nettles!!!

Yeah, there are hundreds of potential FA's in Muir Valley. We will be busy for at least 2 more years.
