"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

RingtailI had done Mountain Beast several years ago. They share the first three pitches and thus crux. I combined the last two pitches (ones I had yet to see) to the top of the tower. The well varnished 5.9 corner (last pitch) is one of the best trad pitches at that grade in Red Rock. With Pat B. from China.
