STEEP for a 5.9. Nice shot and nice job on this climb.

Man, I wish I could go climbing, packing and unpacking for the next 2 months. :-(

Re: Looks

"STEEP for a 5.9" it's a .9+ and even that felt plenty sandbagged to me :)

So did you guys buy a house or something? that kind of packing/unpacking?

Re: Looks

Yep, we bought a house at Lake Sawyer. New Construction, moving in a month. Very excited!

Later.

Re: Looks

Jonathan - yeah, I found the pitch hard and not exactly sport-bolted at top :)
Thanks for visiting (& I saw the photos of your climb of this thing - inspired us to give it a go :)

Re: Phew

yeah I always found it hard...good (easy) crack on 1st half and a kick ass face to top things off.
