wrong wrong wrong. I eat humble pie. Just got off the phone. I confused high pressure with the route. Geeze I am such a rookie here.

I used to mix up:
High Pressure, Overhang Overpass, & Overdrive.
Since Overdrive is the only one I actually went out and climbed, I think I got that one straight.

So you're saying High Pressure might not be so bad?
I always thought it was one of Bridwell's preemptively down-rated
climbs, so I mentally bumped the grade quite a bit, and have been
too timid to even look at it (except in topos, where it looks
great)

Curious, does anyone know of anyone doing Overhang Overpass? If you have not done it it is a super climb.

There was a pretty good post about Overhang Overpass a while back.
Might have been by Werner, about Dale doing it?
I searched it and can't locate it.

Didn't Sybill Hectel and some guy go up there a few years ago? He fell, dove head first behind a flake, and died. Werner probably remembers better than me.

James, I was the first person to show up after that guy (Chris Hampson) fell. He didn't dive behind a flake. He probably pulled one off and didn't have any gear so.......
Pretty damn sad really. I was soloing that day and he wasn't. Ugh. Not that you wouldn't know anything about that stuff.

Doug, where does Higgins' 'old 5.10' fit? (Maybe Ament was part of that also.)

Bingo! I read the write up recently. Three bolt route as it turns out. I always thought it was an old school groundfall special! LOL
