Bump for some really great photos.

Bill - thanks for writing the captions, as it adds a lot to the post.

I think if you edit the post to put all of the photos in order, it will really add a lot! It's hard to follow what's where. I know, it's a lot of work, but I hope you will...

RE:
"pretty run hooks and reamer finish to get to the anchor. "

I can't imagine what a "reamer" finish might consist of...(?)

can you please clarify?

LOL!

Great thread, awesome climb.

"The Seven Seas pitch, an A2 beauty that bore the signs of some recent free climbing attempts( ie- chalked tick marks at key holds & gear placements. There was also a modern sport anchor above with a line of bolts entering & exiting some steep, wild looking rock."

The chalk is probably from Tommy Caldwell's and Justen Sjong's ascent of the "Free Magic Mushroom". They referred to it as the Seven C's because they protected it with the new C3 cams from BD. Don't know about the sport anchor. I'm pretty sure Tommy said he didn't add bolts but he wasn't the first to recon the route for free climbing potential.

Thanks for the TR

No doubt it was from the attempts to free Magic Mushroom last year. That T.R. was from 2007 and on this year's trip, Son Of Heart, I could see more chalk tick marks & such. I do believe that the 7 seas pitch is one of the cruxes, at 5.13D/5.14A.

I saw some marks which were just a simple tick mark & others that were shaped like an arrow, pointing to key gear placements, I believe but that is just my guess.

Is it OK for climbers to mark the rock to provide key beta for crux sections? The Huber brothers had marks on El Nino indicatiing what gear went where, etc. The roof atop the Son Of Heart corners had a bunch ot tick marks too. It's a 5.13B undercling pitch and looks very difficult but how far should one go to free climb a pitch? Are chalk marks OK but painted ones not?

Just wondering.

The Seven Seas are the seven C's are the seven little ceilings on the pitch as originally named. Great pitch that took only one hammered placement on the FA, my lead.

I just finished writing an account of the FA for a Stonemaster project. Now it's time to raid the slide box for images that nobody has seen outside of Tucson!
