Comments: Going straight up from P1 anchors is 5.10 and nuts are really nice. The original route goes to the right edge. CTK has repeated a variation start to the original route that was climbed by A. Marquardt and Brad M.

Comments: I TRd the route yesterday. I think it's harder than 9+ and a lead would be difficult without bolts or shaky gear. I'm in for a shot ground up!

Comments: The route takes the ledge to right (green line) and belays at base of dihedral. Either way seems good though. Nice shots.

Comments: This crack took pro from fingers to hands. After the anchor it grows in width. I'm bringing a #4 and 5 next time. I could have used the #5 on first pitch.

Comments: I climbed it yesterday with Scott Sellars and Bill Hiscox. Bill bolted the pitch 40 years ago today! They continued to the top via the overhanging crack on the right; Scott Baxter climbed the left side.
Great to climb it with them. Both agreed the bolt should be replaced; and it would still be a scary top out.

Comments: Loved the spicy face above the bolts. Great horizontal holds and protection. I wrapped a handle with a thin dyneema cord and threaded a nut up high. Cool route Geir!

Comments: I did the FA after Dave Black told me it was a descent off Suicide. He said he had toproped it and thought it would be a good addition. He was right.

Comments: Mark Trainor and I did a couple of climbs on the wall. We first climbed a line left of center on the wall then a small pinnacle on the left end of the wall. Great camping in the Pinions. Wish I still had the photos.

Comments: The route on right was slightly easier; the block on the route I'm on is easy to find and is start of crux. Bit runout on top but good.

Comments: Climbing gets harder the higher you go. Rest before the first bulge on a great ledge. Work right to a great foothold and then one more steep part and you're into the crack. Nice gear.

Comments: Earlier this year someone placed gear, fell and ripped out a few pieces destroying the rock. This from Colin Cox:"someone tried to onsight Shangri-La without the bolts. He fell, ripping several pieces from the crack, breaking the rock in the crack, and took a 60 footer. I guess now we know."
It is fragile. Don't mess with the bolts; if you are going to fall, clip them instead of tearing out the rock to suit your style.
I believe the FA group knew what they were doing and have a lot o... more >>

Comments: I don't know Hammerhead.
Mark Trainor and I finished this line after passing it by a few times. It looked like it had been abandoned, no red tag, nada. It had been there for a couple o years.
We tore off a lot of flakes near the crux and it is still a delicate face. Like climbing at Camelback, climb like a cat.

Comments: A fun climb with a thoughtful crux roof. I am tall so I had no problem clipping at the roof but shorter folks may have to undercling a git higher. Highly recommended.

Comments: We just did it in 4 pitches; like Tim's description but we added the first pitch of Dislocation and walked left to the start of Direct. I could have run the last two together but was worried about drag.
