We went down and around the corner, down climbing a short, scary slab with one little move on it. Then, we climbed east facing rock up. The downclimb is easy unroped, but it's one of those creepy sections.<br /><br />It's been a few years since I've been there, but it looks like you guys didn't wrap around the Grandstand, around the NE corner.

Immediately around the corner, stop, rope up, and climb the east facing easy layback crack above. It's the crack that is almost on the NE corner of the Grand Stand.<br /><br />We didn't finish the direct route. Ran around the second ledge, dropped the packs, then up the OS.<br /><br />I'll never try the GT again. Twice is enough. For me, it ends up feeling like a pink point, or a red point, or some sport route. I'd rather do the Serendipity on Owen, then finish with the Italian Cracks. Something different. It is fun though.Fritzripshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01831914226926383888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4489345242508072729.post-15984603043483224252012-08-19T18:57:34.616-06:002012-08-19T18:57:34.616-06:00Derrick, yeah, we knew it was a lofty goal.

I agree with the soloing everything sentiment. I think the pitch out of gunsight and maybe the first Italian cracks pitch are the 2 to pitch out and the rest can hopefully be simuled or soloed. Oh well, now we have the first part dialed, next time. <br /><br />I'm curious about the 1 pitch out of the Grand Stand. We were just following Rolo's beta on Pataclimb. 1 short pitch sounds quicker 2.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13096250743349554322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4489345242508072729.post-55356158797251545572012-08-18T20:59:56.203-06:002012-08-18T20:59:56.203-06:00I've "done" the GT a couple times, b...I've "done" the GT a couple times, but prior I had done every route separately. The first time we did it as my bachelor party, as a team of three, at a casual two day pace. The second time we did Teewinot, Owen, Italian Cracks, Middle, then ran out of water and had to go way down south fork to get water, at which point motivation was lost. That trip took 12 hours for the Cathedral portion with average athleticism. <br /><br />I think to do the entire traverse, all the way to Nez Perce, onsight, in 24 hours, is really a lofty goal for someone who hasn't done the route before. Yeah, maybe your posse could do it, but most won't be able to do that "onsight". Soloing every bit of the route except a four pitches on the Grand is almost mandatory if you want to do it that fast.<br /><br />Two pitches out of the Grand Stand? I've always done it in one relatively short pitch?<br /><br /> Derek Weissnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4489345242508072729.post-31994034814357953572012-08-16T17:05:39.006-06:002012-08-16T17:05:39.006-06:00awesome. when I was started on my way up Garnet, I...awesome. when I was started on my way up Garnet, I saw all of your headlamps bobbing around way up there while I was still in the parking lot. well done!Brodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748438559957154819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4489345242508072729.post-15708462186167916682012-08-15T08:17:14.807-06:002012-08-15T08:17:14.807-06:00Jim, I thought we had smokey skies.

Smoke was bad enough to hide the summits of Owen & Grand. We bailed and suffered brochitis for a month. Better luck comes with better weather and routfinding.JIm Knightnoreply@blogger.com
