First you have to define how it relates to Vector.
Vector is well right of Math Crack, no confusion there.

Hamie, your stories/lessons kick ass here man. Very cool to get them from the source, I really liked the words about you & Jim Baldwin on Memorial ledge for the first time.
Pretty awesome to have so much climbing going on & awesome histories on all these routes we get to climb- oh & in January to boot! This thread has got a second wind for sure! Been really cool to meet a bunch of super squampians & get out on the rock these days.
Edit- holy moly Hamie! When was that photo taken? Look at how many trees are in st vitus!!

1959 is a typo by Marc B. Correct date is 1966.
Uncle Fred reported "Math Crack" in the 1967 AAJ, page 366. Info courtesy of MH.
On a positive note,you guys likely did the "Math Crack" variation anyhow, as it is slightly more direct. If so, you did a Beckey route.
Actually, it looks like Mclane's had it wrong for almost 30 years. Did no one ever notice this? Or did he just not care to change it??

McLane has had other things wrong for nearly 30 years, too. They've been pointed out, but some things never change.

MH, I'm up for the South South. Don't know if my knees are good enough for the descent from N, but could try. South Gully probably too hard for me these days. Give a call.

Mike, I woke up angry today because I had a dream you called my house to find a sledding partner and my mom didn't wake me up.
Looks two rats and a titmouse to me..
