I'm looking at your pics of the Roman Chimneys you posted.
Uh there's a route on that arête right?
I sent Tami note asking her about it and she did not know.
Hamish F you know?
Great thread and if you guys want your own Peregrine falcon let me know I'll send you one or two if you like. ;)

Ah well just thought I would share.
So what about the arête on the last of the Roman Chimneys?
Oh and that must have been awesome to see. A real predator and stealth killer.

Actually it was all business and hit the crow with a noise like being punched in the face. Spectacular to see, unless you were the crow...

Hi Silver,
Nice to hear from you, been awhile, as far as I can tell from the local guides there isn't. Unless it's new or unknown. Maybe you are thinking of Eurasian Eyes? The stunning 5.13b arete in the Bulletheads? Another amazing Jim Sandford effort. 1989.
You in the falcon business or something?

If the answer is "Doctor Brayshaw I Presume", what was the question?

If he were medical, then the question could be "what are the consequences of non-infallible compliance?"

"Amazing effort" should perhaps be saved for ascents such as Peter C's onsite first free lead of the Shadow on U Wall. Not to belittle J.S.'s new routing at all, as he brought a very modern and interesting style into squampton climbing.

Yes. I'm only a little chicken squawking in the barnyard, but Eurasian Eyes isn't quite the amazing route which Kevin McLane's amazing photo on the cover of his '92 guide suggests. However, I can only squawk about the original 13a line, not the direct 13b from 2011 by Trevor Wood and Luc Neufeld. Marc Bourdon's new Select calls the 13b more aesthetic.
But I'd rather not try to compare Peter and Jim. Both amazing enough to me.

Sorry, anything 13 and up is pretty amazing to this 5.11 climber. The shot of Honnold on Eurasian Eyes in the new Squamish Select is pretty amazing too.
I wouldn't bother compairing apples to oranges though, I think that Peter's efforts on The Shadow would be much better described as inspirational or extraordinary not to mention revolutionary.

No Mike its that long agers in the photo center and on the grand I believe. Post the photo would you again and ill point it out.
I find it hard to believe its not a route but then again it may be just blank and not claimable.

Does the prow in question look more like a ship, or a shark?
Some impressive boulders on this end of Dance. Could be fun with a car jack. Make that a house jack.

MH2 casually throws out there his thoughts on 5.13 climbing...probably in two pairs of wool socks
Tell us some stories MH2...can you tell us where and when you climbed your first 5.12?

Pretty sure MH2 is not from around here....his first 5.12 may be one of the first 5.12's?
