2 out of 5 stars Back When

Way back then, the Valley was mostly glaciated still, so we had to climb what we could get to. Got in a fight with a wooly mammoth on the way out. Rats present in the cramped chimney Bivy. Sleep on the ledge below, probably better.

3 out of 5 stars Dirty Old North Buttress

First time up this one. Done it a few since. There's one layback pitch up there that has always felt 10b to me, before the chimney system and the "official" crux pitch. Be prepared for some dirt.

4 out of 5 stars With Jeff Angermann

2nd pitch mantle is in fact 10b....always has been...irrespective of MacNamara's re-rating. But make no mistake, this is an adult route. So no whining on those big runouts on the 3rd and 4th pitches. After that, though, most pitches are pretty well protected.

But for those of you who are leading it and want to bring the extra cam, the piece is a #.75 camalot for the crack....if you want, you can get a #1 in there too, just a few feet higher.
