There's worse things......like cabbage.

Cool slot. I think some of those chimneys are the safest places in the Pinns.
Bridging, stemming, work it out.
Hell, you know......If there's more, I'd be stoked to groove on it.

Hiya, Munge.
Not really, I've only climbed there a couple times, a long time ago.
Only got to the East side.....Tourist trap, Discovery Wall, Tiburcio's X. You know the deal, had fun, found some choss.
I'd go back, but I'd have to be in the area, already. Not prepped to road trip from Boise for it.

Groove on!

Oh, BTW guys....Texas flake chimney never gets THAT wide.

A great old school route worthy of a repeat AND report. I'll do it again but next time with a bolt kit and make it a goal to replace a few of the time bombs.

The rack I'd roll with:

6 alpine draws
2 double slings
4 shoulder slings
6 non-lockers
#1 and #2 C4's or the like.

That's all!

Notice the empty side lot and loads of clothes.....34 degrees. It was 88 degrees when we topped out!!!

Approaching, not bad though we later got lost and did major bush whacking

FINALLY, at the base!

LORD, look at the offwidth to the right of the start! Munge, get on 'er!!!

COOL pitch, 5.8 offwidth:

F4 looking up the offwidth, my lead!

really neat lunch spot at the hanging gardens mid-route:

And another shot with F4 coming up:

That, in his hand, is a rock! Threats!!!

F4, top of the climb, notice the familiar spot?

Once you get your photos straightened out, I've got a question: Do you agree with the 2 out of 3 stars? And the 5.8?

squiddo · « **Reply #25 on:** January 14, 2010, 05:39:58 PM »

photos are straightened out!

yes to both grade and quality.

LORD no, its to the left one notch. That pict was JUST to show the mad potential!

mynameismud · « **Reply #33 on:** January 14, 2010, 08:29:04 PM »

Hey what's up two of the pictures went away?!

F4? · « **Reply #34 on:** January 14, 2010, 09:04:59 PM »

Brad, Yes the route does qualify for 2 stars, 3 in my book for adventure. For sure it's 5.8. Please promise to never do a topo for this route. Half the fun was figuring out where to go.

The bolts are in dire need of replacing.

Brad Young · « **Reply #39 on:** January 14, 2010, 09:32:08 PM »

"Half the fun was figuring out where to go."

Is the description in the book OK? I wouldn't topo it even if I could. And how could you topo a route that goes all over and around?
