Largo- How many times did you lead that thing anyway?
Your pic shows you in jeans, but I'm sure I've seen a pic of you no shirt wearing shorts...

Sounds to me like Will not only needs a partner but a photo guy/camera man too.
Hell, I might even hike up there for that.

Sooze - That's why I was asking where this climb is?
I might be talked into being said photo guy!!!!
Can someone call me a name and then say the whereabouts of this climb?
What's the approach?

Mussy,
You be nice to Jingy. He's my friend.
Suicide which is located across from Tahquitz (south of the Inland Empire or Redlands,CA) and provides a long history or North American climbing history.
Th Suicide approach is easier than it's neighbor Tahquitz and provides many classic lines for the "photo guy" who has hiked up there.
Located an hour and half from Casa de Pescado which is conveniently located for day trips or if preferred, provides many nice bivy areas close to te "action".
Talk to Will, depending on his accent date, south may be a better solution for you vs. the valley during your upcoming vacation. You are welcome to bivy with us if you'd like.
xo,
Sooze

Largo- How many times did you lead that thing anyway?
Can't recall. This was like four hundred years ago, when I was in middle age.
One time I underclung the whole thing from the right side, but that's totally horrendous unless you're in top bouldering shape, then it's the way to go - no thrashing. Short, but spectacular location. Eases immediately over the lip, by the way.

Here's a couple of shot’s that Jaybro sent me.
Largo’s tip is key go feet first flip around and stack replant your feet and repeat. The only story I have is at the time when I led it I used two huge yellow Tri-Cams for pro. They were at that time the only thing I could find big enough, and let me tell you they rattled around in that fat ass roof crack so bad it was a bit unnerving. As I cleared the lip the rope cleaned the last one I set. Funny I was out at Vedauwoo with Jaybro and Ed today and we were having a good laugh talking about this problem and how it seems everyone’s done it a bit different. Good luck and have someone you trust on the rope.
