Lars, who is he? Has he done other routes at Pinns and elsewhere.
What is the style of ascent so far and protection on the line we had a stage view of last weekend? Does it have a name? Rating so far? BTW, that trail sailed through an area quite easily that I always supposed would be very difficult to access.
A large face with an obvious line up it and no other routes. NW Face of Goat Rock? My interest is peaked and I wasn't the only one. Is Lars still climbing? The third time they say...
Is it open to project, once the closures lift that is?
He used to go by a slightly different first name and then reached back into his heritage to change it. See page 380 of the 2007 guidebook, as an example. He helped put up routes 841 through 843. You've probably met him.
The rest of this shouldn't be publicly posted should it? Aren't we supposed to be highly secretive about all prospective FAs? Lest someone STEAL them?
Oh well, ignoring that risk, here's everything I've got in my notes about that particular project:
"On the north face of Goat Rock, long relatively faint, grey waterstreak. Start just right of a block. Three bolts so far (and a broken-off drill bit where a fourth bolt was being drilled). By Lars Johnson (abandoned by him, “given” to Josh Mucci and/or Brad Young)."
