What is the most unusual pitch youv'e climbed?

North Face of South Rock
7. TOE HOLD, 5.9. This is the only route that tops out on the South Rock, and the first ascentionists were likely the first ever to summit. Put up on lead carrying a 12-pound drill, gear, bolts & other crap. Begin with route #11, “Loner”. Next rappel or down climb from the top of the Center Rock into the notch between that rock and South Rock. The slab now looms above you. Gingerly climb onto the face of South Rock (finally) and begin wandering up the path of least resistance, clipping a number of bolts along the way. Most who try this one get gripped and find themselves choosing between slick slab moves or clawing at vegetation. The top is quite rewarding. 7 bolts. FFA: Paul Humphrey & Hiko Ito, January 1997.

8. TOO EASY FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD, 5.8. Nobody does this one. It starts through the cave formed between the South & Center Rocks. Belay from a single bolt (hanger missing). Traverse right across a gigantic chock stone to reach a horizontal crack. Place large cams as you continue right and around the corner of the stack. Belay at a station where the rock takes a turn for the worse. Reverse the pitch to escape. FFA: Paul Humphrey & Jeff Hollenbeck, 1995.

East Face of South Rock
This wall is the large face of the tallest sea stack, with a dramatic roof half way up it. You can see it from the trail on the way in. Stop on the trail when you are nearly parallel to the North Rock. Look for a feint climber / fisher trail cutting down to the left. Follow this past the “Whaling Wall” to the base of the South Rock. The routes are located near the lower right side of the face.

1. UNDERTOE, 5.11? (120 ft.) The first pitch of what may one day be a complete girdle of the South Rock. Begin with the first three bolts of “Swallow the Sea” then head left out to sea. Plug in numerous 1/2” Removable Bolts on the way to the ocean arête. This route is wild! On a high surf day walls of water sweep up the face of the rock across the channel, sometimes appearing higher than the route, only to crash down beside you. Trail a second rope to Tyrolian Traverse back to land or reverse the pitch. FA: Paul Humphrey. FFA: (project).

2.SWALLOW THE SEA, 5.12b. (70 ft) Scramble cautiously down to the edge of the large boulder that leans against the right flank of the East Face. (This boulder washed away in a storm later...) Clip the 1st bolt, then step left into the air. After a three bolt traverse curve upward through a groove of crazy pockets. This one ain’t over until the anchors, with several tough spots along the way. 9 bolts. FFA: Paul Humphrey, 1997.
