Krikee, people actually climb that thing? It looks damn hard, but pretty. The picture itself is very inspiring, even knowing it's beyond me. Way to go, Katie!

Nice video. I remember feeling like I was going to puke at the top of that thing. The Jungle Gym has some other great routes as well.

Was talking to a friend of mine about the jungle gym this afternoon. We may be heading out there soonish. Has anyone gotten on the Viper this fall? I'm thinking of having a look at it myself and taking some whippers.

Whats the rack beta?
And how do you grade a route like this? Crux+Pump factor? Just crux?

this climb looks so good.
the gear beta would be nice to know.
From the video she placed at least 2 yellow and 2 red.
The crack looks mostly perfect hands/ this hands all the way.
3-4 #2 and 3-4 #1 ???
topo show that crux is in the bottom of the climb where size 1 1/4". This part of the climb we did not see on the movie.
I also found the old ST tread about Viper

reds and yellows are way fun. Boy that thing looks good. Time to quit my job, of course I can just wait a month or two and I'll probably get laid off the way things are headed.

It gets to wide hands at the end. Old #3 1/2 Friends and close to a #4 for the final 25 - 30 feet. Yeah he had friends, there was Deucey, me and Grant. There is some pretty good climbing in that area.

Ya my buddy took a jaunt over to the jungle gym yesterday and was reminded of how much a "sporty" climber would enjoy that spot and mentioned we should make it a point to check it out while the river is cooperating. Then I remembered the Viper which is naturally a must do.

We were just talking about this the other day. The Reid guide gives no real description for accessing the Jungle Gym...doesn't even really say where it is in relation to Rostrum or how high/low on the canyon wall etc.

Spectacular!
It's always great to see how women climb with all the extra balancing steps.
It really helps me get up my own tough 5.6 walls!
If only I were 40 years younger!
