such a cool TR and what an amazing looking route. I've started at this from two locations now. Once from the Spires and a week ago from the NEB. I'm mortal, not worthy.

Glad I got to mortal-man my way up that beautiful beast when I had the chance!
Don't think I'm going back though!
Hot diggity. He was able to link all three pitches to the top! I yarded on two fixed nuts at the start that led up to the loose Chihuahua sized death block that I pulled out and kicked back in with my feet. After the 000 and 00 C3 roof, the climbing was manageable again and we rush to the top as the sun dropped below the horizon
That block is like a parlor trick in a halloween haunted house! Wuuuee! Wha!!! Wheew!
Peace
Karl

Great write up. Gotta ask if you took dramamine to ward off car sickness while writing that on your phone.

Fantastic mobile reporting, Tahoe. Posts of this caliber make climbers want to return to a site riddled with off topic nonsense.
Look, I used to be able to solve nonlinear second order differential equations. And then I bought an iPhone. With my brain charging behind the espresso maker in Yosemite Lodge, competence impaired, I sputtered, "eh, you know, one full rope length, more or less."
Highly doubtful since you hail from the Big Red. ;) Keep up the good work. Looks like you're having a helluva season. Thank you for giving us all that logistical information. Contact us if you ever make it to the Gunks! -CW

Good call on the bump!
Pleasingly natural writing style: loose, poignant, funny.
What's even better: in the 70s and 80s this was a well known and admired climb, high on anybody's list of connoisseur (mostly) free routes. Now you come along and treat it with all the innocence and eagerness of pulling a novelty out of an archaeological dig.
Well done Tahoe!

Hey,did you get back on this thing a few weeks ago? I think we saw you from the northeast buttress route. I've never herd a chick laugh so hard while doing something that looked so painful. Way to go, dude!

How come your partners never have names? yes, it would be nice at least to mention the partner's name who linked last 3 pitches with full 70m rope. I 'd like to find him and talk him into climb this thing again with me.
Seriously - I want to climb this finger crack in August and looking for partner to do so
Edit: looks that I found good partner already
