Anyone out there done Power Dive on Mt Abrupt? 22-Mar-2005 At 2:05:42 PM rhinckle

whoever preceded jeff & me on that alleged gr14, 6 pitch (power dive) on mt abrupt, i have your #8 rock & #6 DMM nut & 2 corroded faders carabiners.

they let us know that perhaps this was the climb we were looking for.
it turned out to be 4 pitches and had the features indicated in the guidebook, but in no particular relation to the pitches described.

as for the track back, we should have taken the hint and bailed too.

on the positive side, lovely and shady on a hot day, and the excitement element from wondering what exactly we were climbing, and if we would be able to complete it if we were as off route as one would have thought if described features didn't keep surprising us when we weren't expecting them.

gledhills&lockwood: did you write this up some time after climbing it?.

are we getting old or was 14 a bit of a sandbag?
