Not to bad for a chimney. I enjoyed it more because I took a person up it that enjoyed it. Did the 5.9 layback on BBQ ledge, was quite fun, think that its more of a stiff 5.8 but still this was my last pitch to climb on BBQ ledge.

Not to bad of route. I would call it more of a veration of any number of west end routes. Only about 2 or 3 pitchs is diffrent. Shares easy streets start and the last two pitchs or so of Kings Chimney. I did the 5.8 'hands' finsh on BBQ ledge, quite fun do recomend.

If you like alpine rock this is a slog, we spiced it up a but by climbing up the decent rapple route but also tried to make a short cut on decent and ended above very loose cliff bands that took a bit to get through.

This route started off slow and only being a 5.6 I was not expecting a lot. But I must say that there were a couple of fun pitchs, I did more of the varations to try to up grade it but I must say that the run out traverse was very fun. I would recomend this route just for that pitch, there is some what good gear at the start of the traverse and the rock is good.

This was a good route for taking someone that has never done trad or much m/pitch stuff before. Out of the 5 pitchs on the regular route I found only 2 would keep most climbers interested, the others are loose low angle stuff. There is a mixed line just to the right that has many bolts. Try not to get onto that route if your goal is easy street, I headed up that route on the 4th pitch and climbed to the forbiden anchor of doom, was able to rap back down with leaving very litle matieral behind.

BBQ ledge is a great place as well (the top of easy street, windy slabs, ect ect) I soloed the west side of Yam and did the reular 5.6 pitch, this time I did the 5.8 squezze chimney, very fun for a chimney, leave your pack for the rap rope to bring it up.

Not a bad route, very easy for its grade, simul climbed most of the way. Some belay ledges are very loose, I found it more of a sport climb than not

First route I have done in the ghost, I just soloed this route, I do not belive it is the classic that everyone says it is

I soloed this route in the afternoon, it is well knowen for its avy hazard but I could see that the bowl was clear. I try to stay away from the classics but haveing this climb to my self I quite enjoyed it and would highly recomend it.

I found this route polished and boreing, I was happy that I did not have to wait in a line up to do it because we arvied early but I highly recomend another route

very fun for mainly chimney's. Great frist route for the face and to see the pumpkin on the ground and than at it.
