Does said rock have an official name yet?

[katestine]

So far, it's still an anonymous miscreant.

Was that the route? I'm looking and wondering why you just didn't go to the left. Climbing the "inverted steps" just makes so much more sense to me than powering your way up the route you did.

[katestine]

That was the route. Besides, if I wanted the easy way, I'd've stayed on the ground :)

I climb to conqure the mountain, not myself :)

Which is the problem I have with route climbing. If I'm going to hit the cliff face I'm going to take the route that gets me to the top and I'd rather switch routes as often as needed to achieve that goal.

Or to put it one last way, I'd rather fail a route and get to the top than fail a route and not get to the top.

But climbing is such an invidual thing that each of us must do it the way they enjoy doing it.

[katestine]

Heh. That IS an interesting perspective.

Very cool rock. Neat that you even attempted that climb.
