Turkey Challenge aka The Pro

On September 4, 1983, I led the first pitch of

Turkey Shoot

. Maurice then led straight up a thin crack into the unknown, to the left of the second pitch of

Turkey Shoot

. This was difficult climbing up alternating thin crack and thin face (with only occasional protection) eventually reaching a ledge. I followed then led an easy pitch to the top.

Four bolts were placed by someone else, years later, when whoever thought he was doing a first ascent. Guidebooks published in 1988, ‘89, ‘97 give it different names. We didn’t name it.

Start atop pitch one of

Turkey Shoot

.

Lots of gadgets, from tiny to big.
