Coming up for air from being slammed at work myself. What a great TR to spend this break on! Love the photos and commentary. Hope you post more TRs.

Thanks for the bump, I had not seen this before. Great photos and report, Nefarious.

Tuckus Menchu, Terry Martin and I did this back in 80 or so, in late summer. I definitely remember the slither but not a lot else. I really liked the route as we made a complete adventure out of it. We hiked down the backside to the creek and went swimming and butt sliding for several hours after wards. Delightful potholes and slides in Bridal Vail Creek. Once it cooled off a bit we hiked up to the notch between lower and middle for our descent. It was a great day.

Thanks, Paul!

It was definitely a fun day and a memorable climb. As you said, a little mini-adventure... The pools you mention sure did look inviting! It was a little cold when we did the route tho. We both commented tho, how this would be a cool quick climb/solo to get to the pools and hang out on a warm day.

Geez, I saw the post, and I'm like, "WTF?! Randy climbing?!"

Then I saw the date. Sheesh.

Hey mate, hope to see you this spring again. Maybe you could consider the notion of actually getting up on the wall??
