Title: Thin wall right of Alliance at Burb S, has it been done???
Post by: Bonjoy on February 18, 2008, 03:48:39 pm

On the right side of the buttress with the Alliance on are three chipped footholds, two very poor crimps, then a gap to a break/pocket. Very obvious line and often has a dab or two of chalk on. Anyone know if it's been done etc?

I've asked that question myself on a few occasions and received no useful response

I almost did this (of sorts...) a few years ago, basically trying a step-on jump start to the big pocket high up. i stopped as it was raping my skin, but wouldn't be too hard, probaby 7bish. this however is a far cry from pulling on with the micro crimps and doing a nasty pulling problem.
