Pitch
23
Here is my climbing partner on
the Muir, Florian Kofferlein engaged in some serious leap
frogging on # 1 Friends. This splitter corner on pitch 22
and 23 is one of the many aesthetic sections on a clean, beautiful
climb.
The belay I'm at here had just a one old hangerless buttonhead
bolt, and was in the middle of this endless 1" crack.
I had used all my small cams (and Florian would need them
anyway for his lead), so after rooting thru the rack I found
one proper sized angle piton. Not feeling that was quite enough,
I had to fiddle together two separate nut stacks that actually
appeared bomber. |
