eepa eepa, I don't think that's it.
But that's the nickname for sure.
Why is "up a creek without a paddle" not in the guidebooks?
I think there is a single bolt on it, IIRC.

The doctor Chris Gonzalez did climb lots in JT, NY and Yosemite, believe he's in NorCal with gorgeous wife and kids - lucky guy!

Hopefully Chris will post up some stories, like "who was dutchess?", and "is it still free climbing with all that tape?"

right on. Got to email my bro from down south... and asked him about that route and his pops...
"He [my buddy's dad] said he learned from John Wolfe and he can't remember the exact name of the other guy, thinks it was Chris "speedy," He specifically remembers the guy living out of a volkswagen and they used dad for the waterfall route. They had pops stand in the water while they climbed on his shoulders..."
The waterfall route was their first ascent. No confirm on the name. But I'm sure other's here know.

"He thinks it was around 78-80 ish."
