It goes, although the old topo is wrong on pitch lengths and ratings. Mr Mud and Jim and I did it. Three pitches until it joins Costanoan. 5.10b -110', 5.8 - 70', and 5.9 - 120'. Those are real ratings, both Mr Mud and Jim (of course) gave me crap, claiming that they were all 5.7, or 5.6 or something like that. Mr Mud did do a helluva good job on the first pitch, which is a lot less intimidating when it is dry, but none of us knew whether it even went, much less how. I expected to be leading 5.10 on the second pitch too, but no way. The first pitch has likely been done at least once before, and the second and third pitches could easily have been done before too. I corrected my topo, and the written description. The description will start with: "This route is particularly dirty." It will end with: "Gear from small to five inches." Those two sentences will keep off any riff -raff! (I now need to go lead the first pitch before I can consider that I've lead the route. I did it with no falls, but since I didn't lead the crux, it doesn't count as a route I've lead. Who's with me in November, while it still may be dry? Uber - you're tough and dumb, how about it?)
Gone now 'til Wednesday.
