Who knows how long ago this was climbed? This had a piece of tat hanging from the tree at the top when the "first" guys to do routes at Franklin got there.

Christmas Eve at Franklin
Cold... brutally cold... ice hanging down and flling on us while we climbed in shoes too cold to really feel anything. Much more fun line in the summer... kudos to Mike Fisher for leading what was essentially a MI1 with trad gear.
