Nice job Jesse. I had a hard time choosing where to go on pitch 10 also. What is the next wall in the black? Oh... and I'm not fast i just have a stick clip that gets me past the tough sections.

Nice post guys! Philo and I (with different partners)did that thing in 1988. It still looks hairy at A3 whatever. Glad you guys had fun what a cool place to be.

Ben, I was thinking of doing High And Dry. You in? Were the heads gone on pitch 12 for you as well?

Wow, what a trip! June 6 is my birthday....I feel as though I got a present. I was one of the fools that did the first ascent of this pile. Funny thing is I can only recognise about 30% of you're pics, so much climbing from then until now. Thanks for the trip down the lane and good job on the wall.
Bruce.

Jesse,
yes the heads were gone on pitch 12 when we did it. I talked to a party that climbed the H-wall about 2 weeks before me and they said that they took multipul falls pulling out fixed gear each time.
High and Dry sounds good. when are you going?

Multiple falls? Holy crap, who does that and why? I can't imagine falling on that crap. That streak of dead heads is in some sh#t peg too. I wonder what will become of the section. More enhanced hooks? a Bolt? Would take some real heading skills and something to clean the old heads to get anything to stick there. Hah, were they trying to free climb it or what? I have to find partners for High and Dry first, you in?

I'm not sure that's legal?
Good stuff.
