If it's BOS, just go for it. I've heard that it's all there.

Correct Brandon....did it last August, stellar climb. Up high and north facing can do when rest of the area is too hot. A bit of spice but very nice. 11- is well protected but some of the 9/10 is thoughtful.

Yes, Book of Saturday. If someone can take a picture & email me a topo I'd highly appreciate it, I'll buy the book as soon as I get home, I'm not trying to be a cheap skate...

Not overly worried going without the topo, but it'd be nice to have for a piece of mind! (Passing through on my way back to Cali..)

Wear your helmet on the approach!

You're in the danger zone, that canyon gets super narrow and there is tons of evidence of rockfall. Freaked me out.

These are from the first edition:




Take a small rack from tcu's to #1 camalot. I doubt you'd use wires or trikes. Its been done without supplemental gear, but I would not recommend that as a general rule.
