Comments: Climbed this again yesterday as six rope-stretching 60m pitches, involving a wee bit of simul-climbing and a couple of hanging belays. A 70m would allow you to climb the route comfortably in 6 pitches with more options for good belays.

Comments: I went about half way up this route to retrieve a rope that managed to get snagged on the rap off Birdland. Looked like a nice line.

Comments: Thank you, Ron. Unfortunately, it looks as if the originals for this one might have been wiped out when my hard drive crashed a while back...bummer.

Comments: I used "Autostitch" to make this. Unfortunately, you lose resolution when stitching photos together. If anyone can recommend a better program to use to maintain the resolution, please let me know and I'd be happy to upload the higher-res version.

Comments: It is possible to get off the route with a single 60m rope, but requires a bit of trickery. Probably best w/a 70m.

Comments: Pitches 1 and 2 combine at 185'. Pitches 3 and 4 combine at 198'. From there, a short final pitch (~50') leads to the top and a straightforward walk off.

Comments: Just my opinion. Of the 100 or so Valley routes I've climbed to date, this is just not one I'm anxious to jump on again. Again, just my opinion. Glad you liked it though!

Location: CA : Central Coast : Hwy 33/Ojai : Wheeler Gorge

Comments: While not a destination area in and of itself, Wheeler Gorge is a pretty fun crag to spend a half-day if you happen to be in the greater Ventura area. Bring a dozen draws and watch out for poison oak.

Comments: Thanks, Matt. I think it was from Treasure of the Sierra Madre, right next to Snott Girlz.

Comments: Dave, perhaps you could post a video on YouTube? I want to be able to get all the moves wired before I go for the "onsight".

Comments: A little disappointing - an OK route but not a classic in my book. Watch for loose rock on the traversing pitch.

Comments: Lighten up there, Francis. You might consider thanking George (Bell, not Bush) instead for all the quality descriptions he has added to the site.
