Better first pitch to Haystack. More challenging, fun moves.

Wow. Took a 25 footer making the roof move, and fell on the piton which is about 6 feet below the roof and I had a 4 foot sling on it. Biggest lead fall I've ever taken. I got away unhurt apart from ropeburn, so I climbed it and this time I stuck a piece in under the roof.

A much better start to Haystack. Not a bad start to anything on that ledge actually.

I did a mock lead of this in a trad class. It was very fun, but I had to clean alot of munge to place gear.

Had to clean a lot of dirt and vegetation out of the crack. Don't know if it had been done before. I called it "Preparation H" because it goes up to Haystack and because it was a dirty crack. Gene Drake used the name in his early guide material.
