Yesterday I saw somebody climbing the route Cragnshag and I did on Queen's Throne. Wonder who and what they thought of the route.

On Sunday I worked out a different approach to the base of Queen's Throne.
From the parking area just before the gate, walk a few yards back down the road to the well used and marked trail. Follow the trail for only about about 10 yards and turn right down a shallow gully. When the summit boulders of Queen's Throne come into view (less than 200 yards) turn left at some ducks. Follow the ducks through several sections each of forest, brush and slabs until you finally reach the small pool at the bottom of the creek/slabs next to Queen's Throne.
I think it much better and perhaps faster than the scramble down the creek gully. I don't know how it will go in the early season when the creek is up.

Dan,
Sounds like an approach crazyhorse described before, or a variation.
Cool you saw climbers on the route, and truly astonishing if that prominent corner wasn't climbed before you guys did it. We've got some old route notes and topos without clear locations from Royal, George Meyers and others, but none seem to match up with that line.
Did ya do any bolt replacement on some scary oldies out there yet?

Dan was seeing things... He was alone that day, it was hot... what he really saw was either MacBeth's or Banquo's ghost.

Old Dan may be seeing things again. I had no doubt that it was a climber when I was looking at it but when I blow up the photos, it doesn't look like one.
Tork - the route goes up the corner in the photo in my previous post at 10a. You'll have to get details from Cragnshag if he is willing to release them since he is the keeper of all notes, topos and as my memory fades -- I forgot what I was going to say.
Nate - I always remind myself that there is no way to prove a first ascent so in my mind I temporarily labels things "First Ascent I Know Of" (FAIKO) while I wait for somebody to educate me about it. It is an obvious feature and I wouldn't be surprised if somebody has done it. Besides, it would be astonishing if a climber of my small caliber was there first. (I can always determine where the 5.9 starts because that's where I fall off) Heck, I'm not even a real climber.
Kev - how did things go at Book of Revelation?
