Comments: Thanks for the info. Can't wait for the guide though, although MP helps a lot it still doesn't compare to having a guidebook at your disposal. I know a lot of climbers who will also be glad to get their hands on it. Thanks again.

Comments: As usual I'm struggling to understand US grades. Start of this climb was worth 5.9+ but after that the climb is at most 5.7, though enjoyable - "a good mountaineering route". UK grade would be Hard Severe with an optional 5b start.

Comments: Seemed hard for the grade but I may have missed the easiest line. Hardest moves were near to bolts but I had to resort to Mr. Micawber's POV that "something will turn up" in between. Tried to avoid the strong gravitational pull rightwards where the climbing looks easier....

Comments: Ha ha, alright, it's updated. Wouldn't it have been better if I told you that you had to wait for the names and ratings to be posted until my book came out next spring??? I'm actually most of the way through a book for Elevenmile, so I'll try to get that going here soon....

Comments: That would kick ass if you did. Probably will be a while before we see a new guidebook for this area, so anything helps.

Comments: Led with Sarah today. Challenging crux for me, but protected it with a #2 cam in the crack. Rested (hung) on the rope while I figured out the moves through the roof. Once I figured out the moves, it wasn't too bad for me. Sarah climbed it in tennis shoes :-]

Comments: Does anybody know what the name of the offwidth roof crack is that is between Captain Fist and the Meanie Cracks. It starts in the back of the cave behind Captain Fist, and does full on offwidth climbing to finish at Captain Fist's anchors?

Led Moby Grape today...have done this route quite a few times, however, in the middle of the route there is a large boulder in the crack that is very loose...BE VERY CAREFUL...it really needs to be pulled off for safety reasons...we would have today but too many people around.

Comments: Perhaps I missed something, but pulling past the second bolt is a long tenuous reach that seamed much harder than anything on Bye, Bye Butterfly.

Comments: One hard pull at the bolt establishes you in the crack/ corner. Fun and easy climbing above with good gear.
