Yea, that's recent enough. Did you take any pins, should I bring a bolt kid etc (doing the 50 crowded route -FoF)

A bolt kit is not a bad idea as several of the bolts on the last 2 pitches are either missing or manky. A smattering of pins makes your life a little easier although it will go clean. I don't remember exactly what we took for pins although we didn't use many of them. Refer to Bjornstad's Desert Rock III for a suggested pin list. Camp up under the climb and jug your lines. If your fast you can make it to the top of p6 and retreat from there. Jugging back the next will involve some free jugging but gives easy access to the final pitches.

check out the topo on climbingmoab.com - its good and a number of poeple there have climbed the route. i've only done the furst pitch of the sundevil so far which i did hammerless - bring as many red aliens and lowe balls as you can if you do that route.

dont bail and camp...BIGWALL IT! it would be a light wall but why rush and do in in two days camping at the base when you can take your time, enjoy it to the max, and sleep on the rock for 2 nights?

Andy,
You want to pair up for another try on the Sundevil this spring? I haven't been on it but I'd be game to try.

i could be talked into it if you are willing to lead the 5.9 mud pitch cologman. i don't mind leading the hard aid, but i am not willing to lead that free pitch. the first pitch is the best pitch i have ever done in my life - it is beautiful!

Andy,
I don't know much more about those pitches than what I've seen from the ground and read in Bjornstads guide. Certainly within my zone. What do know that maybe I should know.
Jeff
I watched a French climber(?) and his girl friend free that first pitch over a couple of days last spring. They had it in mind to free the whole route. Don't know if they managed it or not. What I saw was d$mned impressive

I did the route last year hammerless. Although my buddy did use a pin-nut stack in the crux pitch. If you've never climbed in the Fishers yet, your in for a treat! You'll never take granite climbing for grantid ever again.
