Comments: Randy- are you saying you flash-led Palisaid? That is impressive by any standard. Regardless of the place.

Comments: Uhmmm, Ben, would you care to entertain us and comment on these, pretty view, non-climbing photos submitted by this guy Benjamin Chapman?

Comments: I hit that piton few times with a hammer and it flexed. So I didn't want to risk breaking it and left it alone (clipped it though). The pro in the horizontal was decent but shallow. Small rp placed sideways, backed up with the grey c3. Definitely good to take a hang on. Above that is good pro. If the rp rips, it's straight for the ground.

Comments: Alex -- we could not find it in any of the guidebooks and the cliff was mossy and very dirty. I spotted this from the top of Grand Illusion and liked it because from that location it looked a little like Wild West Homo. But initially I was not sure if it would even go. So no, no OS :)

Comments: Yeah, maybe the chimney is #42 on Swartling's guidebook. Sorry, initially I didn't realize what S&M referred to.

Comments: I tried looking up how "PG 13" vs "R" is defined. I found this: "PG13 – OK protection, falls may be long but will probably not cause serious injury", "R – Runout, some protection placements may be very far apart (possibility of broken bones, even when properly protected)".
Not trying to split hairs here but long fall on Wild West Homo most likely means hitting the ledge, even if gear holds. Regardless of the consensus.

Comments: I agree, Bryan your description sounds awful like Scars and Tripes and the picture looks like the top of Scars and Tripes as well (compare the boulders at the bottom). Travis -- thanks for pointing this out.

Comments: Climbed Alexander's on April 29. Very little ice on the route. Rotten ice on the 1st pitch, section of fun ice on pitch 2, and little in the chimney. Nothing above the crux. Still fun though.

Comments: Climbed there yesterday. Dry as a bone. But still a lot of fun. I'd avoid climbing Martini. The Martini glass-shaped flake sounds and feels like it could go.

Comments: Hey Andy -- didn't realize you've moved to Vegas. Yeah, definitely check out this wall. Kinda complicated and annoying approach above the start of Olive Oil but well worth it! Cool climbing on chocolate-colored rock. I wish we got there earlier and climbed the other routes, too. Oh well, next time.

Comments: Guys -- despite its initial appearance, this is a great little cliff with at least five super-fun climbs. If you haven't been there yet, I hope this pic makes you go and check it out. Thanks for your comments!
