Swedish Plubing |
W3 - 50m |
This climb is not technically on the West Face of Crandell. Instead it is found along the far bank on Cameron Creek. It is visible just before the Expert's Choice pullout. The climbing is unimagining being fairly broken. Freezing your ropes in the exposed creek is the main difficulty. Getting accross the creek to the ice while keeping your feet dry also seems to be quite difficult. One of the Swedes who were the second party to climb the route, didn't do a very good job at getting across. Rap off threads.
I believe someone beat the swedes to this route, but can't remeber where the first ascent information was published. If anyone knows the real name, please let me know and I will update things.
Note there are some small pillars that form at Deja Vu, the small waterfall just above the Expert's Choice pullout. This climb is not situated there.
