Groan...
My inner Shuteye addict has been pacing inside my head now for a month.
Nothing else is gonna do.
Grahm, does the forest circus chainsaw trees or is it just you and crew?
Looking fwd to the opening ceremony and actually connecting with a few of you on this thread.

The forest circus will clear trees but by the time they get out there the season will be over ;-)
Theres only 2 trees blocking the road on the Look Out road and they are up by the first campsite. There could be more hidden under some of the snowdrifts. Once the snow melts out more we can go cut em out.

Tom,
That's Thomas Hartmann's revived site, which was originally an online supplement hosted by Rock & Ice online, in the late 90s, I think. It disappeared for quite a few years, and he brought it back a year ago or so. We've been in touch a hint over the years. There's no new content since then as far as I've been able to tell, and a few of the original topos and photos are missing.
Thomas is one of a handful of folks who quietly pioneered routes by traditional means in the backwoods of our beloved SoYo throughout the 90s.

Nate... got one for ya.
Ground up, onsight 5.9. A little of everything... bolts, slings, cams.
Next time you're up at Crocodile you'll have to sample it. Far left side.
Hope all is well with you and yours,
Tom

Sweet. Will seeing a pic spoil the experience for me?
Didja sample that beauty R facing 5.8 corner? FA might still be unknown. Heard that's a good one. And Hartmann's "Brother, My Cup is Empty" up the middle sure looked super knobby and fun from what I could see from the pass. I've yet to climb there.

Grahm was on a sport line to the right while I was climbing that sweet "5.8". He took a shot of it but I don't have it.
Old School 5.8 is more like it. I didn't bring enough wide pieces so the top was interesting, ha ha. But yes, it is a sweet line. We referred to it as Crocodile Tears because you get lured in and then eaten up! The traverse from the slick lieback to the hand crack is tricky and thin, the hand crack is awesome 5.7 jams, but the top is rounded 4-5" liebacking.
I don't have pic of the new route, or of anyone on it. But it's slab start (5.9) to a horizontal crack, then up a knobby face (5.6) with bolts and slings, then a slabby mantle (5.7) to a knobby block at the top (25m). As of now it's the route farthest left on the cliff. There was maybe one more face left of that, but it would be 5.6 or easier and much shorter. Hope you get up there next season. Enjoy your week!
