Perfect temps and no crowds in the shade yesterday at Pratt's Crack area.
Got to meet and hang out with the Legendary Darryl Hensel, and gave W.L a tour of the area.
W.L on "Subatomic", a superb 35-meter 5.10c on Gecko Wall that has a little bit of everything:

Heart Route, old Beckey line, Minehaha I guess I'm being overly anal retentive about this, but if we're thinking about the same route I'm pretty sure it isn't an old Beckey line. At any rate, I'm envious of the good weather you guys are having in Spokane. This has been the worst fall for climbing in my twenty years living in Balcarce. Cheers 85

As for Heart Route~
Bob gave Fred and Bill some cred for the TR. It's such a shorty that I can see why nobody lead it for 17 years. Even with a couple bolts it still has a decent ground-fall potential.
As I grunted and flailed my way up with nice sticky Spanish rubber, I considered how legit it was for Fred and Bill to do it in '66 in whatever clunky boots they had, and what solid 5.9 meant at that time . . . and what it means to me, even now.
Dihedral, at Minnehaha is a hell of a 5.9 lead. Loomis told me that Dihedral is more like 10b, but Roskelley was hesitant to call it 10 because of the heavy nature of what 10 used to be, but I concur, more like 10b.
Wow, looks like Dane Burns soloed it in '79. Holy $#%*! Bold.

Speaking of old school classics. Got a couple in on Cobb Rock last night. Did Empor and the north face center in on long pitch each. Great fun for after work. LK and crew were bad men.

All the old school Kor 5.7s would be 5.9 if they were sport bolted.

Finally got out today just piddling around compared to most of you guys.
Trying to beat the Phoenix heat so I cruised up the isolation Canyon
Not bad just under 90 degrees and pretty nice in the shade and not a soul in sight. I am starting to wonder if I am supposed to be here since the original parking has been shut down.
Anyway here are a couple of pictures. Still out here posting on site
I am climbing solo so no action shots. Just a couple pics besause the signal is weak and the loading slow, more climbs to do
It's choss
