I bet the trail is easy now, as the SAR team chopped a huge swath all the way to the base!
That route was/is a proud line that lars has had on his mind for over 30 years. probable 2 pitches maybe 3 and steep.
Yes, broken drill bit still in rock at high point.
I am never going back, and can say with authority that Lars will never either.
At this point, I would never even bring up the area with lars again, too many painful memories associated with that area. Further I can tell you he would caution anyone going up there to try the route, rather tell you to find a happy place somewhere else in the park. It is a dark place for us, and he would not wish an ounce of the pain delivered to him up there on his worst enemy.
Now, Clink, If you are set on going up there, please keep a look out for a camera in a case on the left side of the gully leading up to the starting block, I think I left it there when lars took his helo ride.
