Awesome photos both by you guys and Tom. That pic looking up at the Koreans ledge is stellar.

Cheers,

Thanks again Tom Evans!

Yeah, Fly or Die was mostly fixed. T-rex placed a couple of pieces near the beginning and mabey 1 or 2 in the traverse, that's it.

Sweet trip report & great pics!! You gotta love that stone up there. Leavitt & Child bagged a real quality FA on this one, to be sure.

I like the mottled rock like grey tiger stripes. Very asthetic & beautiful.

Thanks for sharing.

Not sure if I ever mentioned this, but when Brand (AKA the Incredible Bulk) and I did the second ascent, I led the Fly or Die pitch. Problem was, whoever cleaned the pitch on the FA pulled the wires on all the heads, so there were a bunch of dead heads, especially up in the business. It's soooo steep in there, and I remember being gripped, bouncing around trying to clean the heads, and cussing out Greg and Randy. Wish I'd had one of your butter knives Mark.....

Way impressed that you topped out with beer. I've never been able to do that.

We're planning on both the leader and second climbing with a set of butterknives. I'm rather tired of "A4" routes that are really just clipping up a line of heads.

BUT

DON'T FORGET

everyone is brave on the internet and on the Bridge.

Is cleaning all the heads that great of an idea? Doesn't placing new heads cause more damage to the rock? Lost in America is hardly a clip up.... at least when we did it in a push it wasn't. Besides, the A4 pitch doesn't have many if any fixed heads...just good ole fashioned knife blades and beaks.

If heads are such a bad idea they should have drilled bolts in the first place, or we should be drilling bolts now.

I've probably removed more heads, deadheads and heads with broken wires than anyone in the past 10 years and I can tell you that no, removing the heads with a butterknife, does not damage the rock anymore that the original placement of the head does.

Well, placing and removing heads does far, far less damage to the rock than placing and removing pitons and no one mentions that when you go up on one of these routes that still require "nailing".
