Aid Climbing (7)

1. Aid climbing in a 3 person team
The route itself was quite enjoyable. It is consistently steep (slighly overhanging) with many traverses and a couple of wild spots. The climbing offers a lot of variety, from wide cracks to thin seams, and all the techniques (free, hooks, clean gear, nailing) have to be used.

2. Big Wall Climbing Home Page
Big wall climbs are all about getting out in the wilderness and spending multiple days and nights on the largest rock faces in the world. Information brought to you on the web since 1994 by John Middendorf.

3. BIGWALL.COM
These inaccurate topos are based on dim recollections, half-baked guesses, gossip, blind speculation, and outright lies. In NO WAY do they tell the full story. You would probably be better off just trying to find your own way up the mountain, than you would be if you used these topos. But that statement in no way implies that we are in any way responsible if you don't use these topos, and something bad happens anyway.
