Very nice, thanks!
nice addition Kevin.
I've never done this route (It hadn't gone up yet (I think) when we did WLFT). The name always sounded sort of Risque. Like the sordid side of that Sticky Fingers vinyl jacket.

Well done fellas! I've only done the WFLT, but this route looks like it was well worth the trip.

I showed your TR to people in the bar last night (mostly non-climbers); it was met with unanimous approval.

BriGuy,
Is your partner Erik Kinsey? He and I did West Crack a few summers ago. I know his Dad real well and that was how I partnered up with Erik. He was working at the T-Meadows store that summer, '06 I think. He's a really good, solid climber. We had fun. It was nice of him to climb with an oldster. We wanted to get on Fairview, but the line was too long. We had to race another group to get first on West Crack. Nothing like running flat out carrying gear at altitude and laughing all the way. I thought I was going to puke.
Great photos BTW. Makes my sphincter pucker just looking at those roof shots!
Cheers,
David

Very sweet report.
I can't believe I haven't done the route yet.
Now I'm dying to the do route since the route isn't as likely to cause that dying.

Thanks for all the feedback----much appreciated!
All the anchors seemed legit to my memory. I remember a couple of big, loose features on the route----just got to be a little more careful around those, it's good, keeps it exciting!
Alpine Raven, yes, it is Erik K. in the photos. Nice to hear you got to climb with him. He's one of the best climbing partners I've had and tons of fun to be around, we've done several walls together. I'm pretty sure he's on a 9ish month road trip....nice.
Just about finished going through some more photos. This one is not in the valley.

Emailed some friends to check this out only to find the pics are all gone. When one deletes pics from photo bucket to make more space does this sometimes delete the pics posted on ST ?
My friends are very bummed .... could you repost the pics cause they were awesome. Thanks, Lynne
