Just a question of comfort for me. I felt safer. But respect to Royal Robbins for using nuts. At times, it felt spicy to me, I guess I'm not that strong 😊.
@@JJWren9964 The first ascent was by Royal and Liz Robbins, using all nuts (pre-Chouinard so must have been English imports) which was way ahead of its time. When I climbed it in the mid-70s we only used hexes and stoppers. Never felt dicey.
what if you have to pee really bad 💜
An empty water bottle is helpful for that, but it was so hot that pee wasn't a problem, at all... Lol
Actually, add a poop bag to your list of necessary items in case you need to poop. 😊
Whenever clipping pitons try to make sure the spine is closest to the rock so your carabiner doesn't get leveraged when you fall 🫡
Thank you for the tip. I will definitely pay more attention. 🙂
WTF are pins doing on this route?
What a pity to see cams used on this fine climb. No respect for the name and history.
Usually helps people when you share that history to educate them 😘
