Ya I am on a Reed's kick today.
Not talking about Reed's Direct.
Reeds Erect continues up from the top of Reeds Pinnacle. We climbed it in six pitches from the top of the pinnacle. Great climb! Put up by Dan McDivett I think. Not sure what he rated it. Felt like 11a or b. I remember a very exposed 3rd pitch that traverses on an incut hand rail with no feet. Not hard but exciteing exposure. Not one to miss if your looking for something new.
Not sure how I got up it without a topo.

Hey Jeff, tell us more about this route. I remember seeing from top of Reed's pinnacle not well define crack/grove with couple of pitons. Difficult to imagine that it goes up 6 pitches ?

thanks, sound good for all day outing: 9 pitches total starting from the base.
Is it possible to rappel "Erect" just with one rope? (is 70 m make a difference)

I don't think you can rap with 1 rope.
