This is
the middle section of Frigid Air, which has some of the best
climbing on a route full of excellent stuff.
The notorious OW, that initially shut down Joe Herbst on
the first attempt back in the seventies is the slightly curving
crack on the light colored face up in the sun. Eventually
Joe and Larry Hamilton returned, armed with even more Hexes,
the gear of choice in those days. The crack is quite the flare
and would take a fair amount of fiddling to get a Hex seated.
Hardmen.
In an attempt at preserving the spirit of adventure, we will
not disclose further beta here. Just look at the picture and
that inviting crack line, and think of Joe and Larry and your
rack of cams and how so many routes get completely dissected
on the web and elsewhere, and how bolts get added and, finally,
that this route is like it was, still to this day.
