Nice photos, much better scans. That Iron Hawk just seems to go on forever, doesn't it, with all the traversing. Man, that free climbing scared the crap out of me up there.

This route looks like it has some cool corners and other features. Seems like most folks these days do the finishing option on NS for Iron Son. Actually, I think the 9-25 EC report had a party up there now.
Sure is a nice sized chunk of stone falling off...

Good-grief, who are these two guys - they look really familiar. btw, they sure went to great lengths to hook up with some 'hot half-naked guys' on the top... the gentleman on the right looks very relieved that the 'disco box' made it intact!

Bump yet again.
I look at these pictures and I get all misty about the time I met a bud in the Valley to climb Iron Hawk. We hump our stuff up there get about a pitch and half up and he's climbing really slow, acting weird. I ask him what's going on with him and he fesses up that he cracked a couple of ribs earlier in the week. So much for that adventure.

I learned how to solo on Iron Hawk in 1997. I hadn't soloed anything longer than a couple pitches prior to climbing it.
This flake was pretty detached at the time and I wonder if it's still there? It was too loose to place anything behind it for pro, so I hooked across it instead.
This shot of me and Wee-Wee was taken by a couple guys who passed me on the route. Old scan with crappy colour and resolution - sorry!

So once I heard that this free pitch up high was 5.10c, but I've also read 5.9R, so which is it? And is it really the crux of Iron Hawk?
Are people really doing Iron Son to avoid this pitch? I mean, it's easy to say it's because of the slabs, but is it really??

Thanks for the replies gang. As I told Deuce, I never would've thought twice about some run 5.9 on breakable holds in my 20's.
But in my 50's I'm heavier, weaker, not as bold and have family and such. So there....HA!!!
I would also think that most of the sketch holds would be gone by now....

Climbed the Hawk in 2000. My partner is a really strong free climber so he led both of those pitches and I followed them free. Aside from that aidable move off the belay mentioned above, the climbing certainly is not 10c but maybe 9+/10- and anything too hard is protected, and everything else is not. The bolts had just been replaced as well. I don't remember any loose rock; we thought the climbing was really quality and fun, which is why after leading he told me I should follow the pitch, and that was more fun than jugging up a traversing slab. Probably the "hard" part is the mental transition from being on overhanging rock in aiders for a few days, to free climbing a featured slab.

Drilling those bolts right there, straight up, into the roof, must have been a nightmare!

I thought the same thing. What a proud route by Dale Bard and Ron Kauk way back in 1978.
And some great photos by Duece. I like the one of him setting out on the Knifeblade Traverse racked for bear!
