I took a sequence of images of someone leading the Hoodwink roof on Sunday around 12:30pm... I'll scan and post the photos in low resolution soon...

Might've been us. My partner got the lead on it, and pulled it clean.

Thanks and post away, I'd like to check 'em out.

NICE! That's my bud. He floated it. We got down as the thunder started to roll in. Thanks very much.

Watched a party on The Sting. Ballsy guy walked the crux pitch and then linked it with the last pitch. Wasn't sure there was a belay station in the sea of run out, but I guess he found a spot to anchor.

Interesting thing about "Hoodwink" is to note how J. Bridwell drilled a bolt ladder to protect the moves above the roof & now no one cares.

Yep that's me, thanks for the pix!

I don't know about the nobody cares about the bolt ladder part. I found that to be harder than the roof move, but the fact that it's so well protected makes it less of a crux.

Posted in Roger's topic: Spoke to Jim a few years back. I asked him about Hoodwink, having just flopped around on it. He told he that when he hammered the bolts in, none of them ever felt really solid. He wound up stepping up and hammering in another. When the second didn't feel that good, he stepped up and hammered in a third. Really didn't understand the "feeling solid" part at the time, but Roger's story sheds some light on that.

My take was the fact that he kept going up despite the fact that the bolts didn't feel solid.

Hey, Sharpend, do you have to have a high ape index to reach the roof lip? How tall do you think you need to be?
