Green Bay Packers # 1

I believe this was a 1978 route.  1200 feet's  North Face.  Adventure climbing.

Once past a bolt that Steve had drilled, we went up a ways into a dihedral with loose rock (think Gray might have been there).  I traversed to the right out of there 25 feet to another dihedral (to better rock).  Up that about 40 feet to a ledge and then walk back 20 feet. No pro was put in, so the second would have a better swing if he fell.  Above this was a overhanging hand crack that I think was 5.9+.  Since I was seconding it with a pack on (bivy gear, pitons, hammer, etc.),  it may just have felt that hard.

We had a good time.  There was an overhang rock roof bivy about 20 minutes below the face that we used the night before.

This is a route done in the old Montana style of oral tradition.  With the recent ban by the BNF (and FOB issues) - I won't give any details but you can come talk to me.  Note: Oral tradition told me that Alex Lowe had a route up the middle of the face.

Hexes and stoppers (pitons carried but not pounded - some hand place - you don't want to know).
