There was a huge log in the gully on the second pitch. The log came crashing down to the ground. fortunately it didn't hit anyone.

2 out of 5 stars what a stupid climb...or I am a stupid climber

P1 was fun, although it's not g rated. While the moves are all there, there is no gear for several feet during and after the crux moves.

P2...I have no idea where I was supposed to go. It was one big choss pile. All the rock looked rotten and loose. I took the least path of resistance and felt like a gardener.

Second Second ascent by: tigerlilly on 2007-11-05 (View Climbing Log)

3 out of 5 stars This gets one star in Grey Dick....

but apparently doesn't get much traffic. The route is fairly obvious because everything else is heavy with lichen. In fact, the route itself has quite a bit of lichen on it, compared to the polished classics. And, escaping to the top, rather than rapping after P2, turns into a total bushwack, despite the "old line" shown in Grey Dick. Other than that, it's a fun climb with interesting and challenging moves, especially on P2.
