Hey Steelmnky, what program did you use to draw that topo on? Just curious, I like it.

Very proud. Thanks for posting up your adventure.
Karl, I resonate with the piece you wrote on this climb. I've read it several times, and the photos here make the retelling all the more vivid.
Cheers, gentlemen.

The hand drawn topo on this thread agrees virtually 100% with Roper's description in his '71 guide.
>
Using both will help considerably with routefinding.

Topo reads, "Offenbach Chimney?".
Roper notes this as "Riegelhuth Chimney" (his spelling corrected).

Here's the topo redraw I posted back then...it was wiped out when I changed ISPs. I would have fixed it in my post above, but it won't let me.

Steely, that's is a great looking topo! It's nice to see it in a legible form, Clint's (red-line) seems more accurate as to the line, My topo seemed to trend right, but with your hard work on the redo, It will be hard to get lost.
Great route once again, Many thanks for the Topo!

You Guys are just bumping my thread to get the slander and bile off the front page@@!!
Fair enough.
Oh god, a topo has arrived. How will anyone manage to get lost and epic now??
Actually, having a topo will ensure MANY more people will get lost and epic
No doubt
Have fun!
I'll probably have to go back soon myself. I have a "friend" or two that are gluttons for em, fun
Peace
Karl
Note that off - route corner marked on the topo. Yup, Been there, climbed that. See above

This is probably not a good early season climb, as it drips water?

No, it is a good early season climb. The Arches have quite a bit more water on them than this route. You won't be disappointed

Did this yesterday. We never found the first three pitches. Had to start the route with pitch four. There is a beautiful and relentless 5.7 crack on our alternate pitch two. Got lost on the second pitch of the great chimney. I’m not sure where you should go and I looked at the three options pretty carefully but I will say don’t go right. I take some pride on being able to get lost on a chimney pitch!
Great climb! Get on it.
