How sandbagged are the routes in the wolgan, particularly the grand routes on the upper cliff of old baldy (scimitar, excalibur)? Are they similar in difficulty to other grade 17-18 crack routes, such psychopath, amen corner, interstate 31, and the eternity? (I understand that there will be additional challenges in the wolgan such as a long approach, choss, logistics, weather, exposure, etc).
I've found that other areas developed in the 60's and 70's such as narrowneck feel hard for the grade. Is the wolgan similar? |
