Dirty Kenny
Grant didn't find it. I found it first years before and tried to clean on rappel. It was too steep and I had no gear to pull myself in.
Grant and Ken Yeager cleaned on aid eventually but couldn't lead it while I was at the base hoping to get a top rope.
They looked down and asked if I wanted to try.
I lucked out and got to lead it for the first ascent.

blue kauks are sweet shoes for sure.
And that crack looks brilliant. For those that think its not 5.11d because the climber makes it look so easy. Rest assured I could make it look even harder.

What a Valley! I see so many new things every time I drive in, but never noticed this...
Way to go Katie.

I have a feeling my dude-sized hands would not fit that crack so neatly....
Not to mention hauling an extra 50 pounds. :P

This video proves to me, beyond the shadow of doubt, that Katie Bird is a BAD AZZ!!!
Nice send!

Bump for Katiebird sending a cool semi-obscure line. Better than political wanking anyday.

Sorry for the mis-info on it Werner, I knew it was something along those lines. I think we talked about it together around the time I went and did it. Great route, if I remember correctly the first 30 or so feet is the biz then it is sinker hands for the remainder.

Nice job Katie!!
Chris - what did you shoot that with and what is the format you upload to vimeo? It looks good and runs pretty much full speed even over a DSL line

This is a wonderful looking route... nice send!
So what's the gear beta? As many #1 to #3 as you can borrow?
Is it just the filming angle, or is there a decent chance of whacking the adjacent slab if you run out the gear a little more?

Pretty AWESOME. I just wish I could've seen the entire
video. . . for some reason when I viewed it, the video would stop
after about every 10 seconds. . .

I have a feeling a lost classic will be revived this summer. How can you not want to climb that thing?

Watching this made my night. Something about the jeans and kaukulors gives is a classic feel. Nice!
