Comments: No idea about the FA, but an easy one to come up with if you got the skills to climb all the parts and pieces.

Seems like a long time back, I also heard it referred to as "The Grand Slam", but maybe I dreamt it.


Location: AZ : Granite Mountain : Right Section : The Easy Chair (5.9-)

Comments: I did it not once, but twice in October. It was sooo good. First time I'd done it in ten years.

At one time, I would have called it 10a, but I've decided GM 5.9 is accurate. Pro is actually pretty good on the entire route, just might put the leader in a position of either getting gear or making it through the crux "easy chair" section.

Comments: I'd only done the route once before ('98), but repeated it for fun this past weekend.

Male 5'10", 210 lbs, 46" chest.

Executed a beautiful left arm over my head chicken wing while right hand palming the foot ledge for a less-than-attractive sideways thrutch lead past the roof. It was a bit wider near the bottom. My partner claimed you could hand traverse the foot ledge, but I doubt that as the rock on that face sorta sucks coming out of the corner below that foot ledge. Nice route, though.

Comments: Sounds like Teaser combined with Screaming Basenji might be a good moderate day.

Location: AZ : Granite Mountain : Middle Section : The Classic (5.7)

Comments: The actual third pitch of The Classic route takes a crack line that diagonals across the Flying Buttress to it's far side (away from the main face). You can veer sort of left and go up the last part of Karl's Korner and then continue straight into the HEE (what it sounds like you did). See picture...
