Be the first on your block to get a great first ascent.
This is next to the Water Music on the north side of Chair Rock. I led this thing on aid a couple of times and then top roped and then worked on it a total of a dozen times. I got very close to freeing it. Maybe just a move or two short. Never tried to lead it. I conveniently left for NYC for grad school. I suspect it has been been ignored for years.
I think this could be a great, hard, Platte classic. Short and to the point from beginning to end.
Eds. From Allen Hill, this is distinct from Thin Ice. It also may not have seen a free ascent yet.
Location
I put some anchors in. I think a couple of pins. Might need to be beefed up. No easy way to the top.
Protection
Thin thin thin. Brass nuts, off sets, and TCUs. Hell, bang in a knifeblade if need be! I say go for it.
Comments on no name 5.12d or 5.13a thin crack aka Adrift with the Bajau
Felt it was somewhere around 5.12b/c on TR and a hell of a lot harder placing gear on lead (haven't done it clean). I replaced the webbing and added two rap rings to the two-bolt anchor during the last week of of June.
Also, per Allen's comment above, I do not think there is any need for a fixed pin on this route. Just my two cents.
