First pitch of Falling Star

18-November-2006: First pitch - finger crack which peters out - you then traverse right to a larger crack underneath a small roof (center right of pic). Face moves lead up and left to a bolt, then a 2-bolt belay. We found some slings and rap rings on this station (red slings in upper left of pic - click to enlarge). The older guidebook calls this pitch 5.7. If it was 5.8 I got sandbagged :)

What!!??

5.7?? Nooooooooooooo - my 1937 guidebook has it listed as 5.2. I believe it is the gold standard for what a 5.2 should be!!

hehehheheh ;)

Mind over matter

It's really not that hard. It's the quality of gear that makes that one move seem hard.
