Hey Peter! Nice to see you on supertopo...your description of the location sounds like the same general zone as "Devil Made Me Do It!" a route I did with Urmas Franosch some years ago, not all free though... Like to see your line drawn in somehow...

Topos take time Alpine. The map must represent the quality of the climb.

And The Prism. Is this stuff in the "next valley over" you were talking about Peter?
I think the green line in the background is on The Sabre Ridge.

Nothing to see here people. Everything in SEKI is ugly and choss. No reason to leave Yosemite. Looked at sabre ridge this summer and I think it's just made out of dirt anyway :)

Hi Micronut (or anyone else!):
Do you have any more beta on The Prism besides that photo that you posted? Looks amazing!
Cheers,

Just pick the biggest, baddest line. That's the one they did.
Some awesome photos here btw.

On the first ascent of Left Facet (route A in the photo posted above) we had trouble finding a clean path through the steep roofy section right at the bottom of the prism. We finally settled on a line that passed mostly to the left of the roofs, but there was one 20 foot section of steep blank rock. I got some good gear in a horizontal below the blank section and made a few moves into some dicey friction pockets. That's when I made the mistake of looking down. I started thinking about how fun it would be to try and crawl out 15 miles on a broken ankle. Yep. Good thing "sierra hardman" Brandon Thau was there. He eats 5.10 friction pockets for breakfast. The next 8 pitches we lost ourselves in fields of low angle cracks and seas of giant chicken heads. Amazing route, but don't underestimate pitch 2.

How about Saber ridge 2013 as a supertopo meet? lol Or would that defeat the reason to get out somewhere less popular?
