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!

I love the contrast between these two dirtbags gear and Hudon's recent gear shots from Tribal Rite!
Make you feel a little affluent Mark?
