failed attempt at Echo Crack (190m 18 M5) + snow 10-Sep-2005 At 10:27:53 PM Lee

Ahh good times,
I think I must have a handful of your bolt plates a few biners and some nice red sling.
I did this route with my brother, what would have been just a couple of months after your attempt and
along with the amazing collection of objects that prove just how fascinated people are with throwing shit
off big cliffs we followed a little trail of rap anchors.
As you can imagine we puzzled over the circumstances and wondered who it was, so its great to stumble
upon this little story a year -more- later.
As Bruce Lee wrote it is better to have attempted something great and failed than to have not tried at all,
all points for trying it is one very intimidating feature.
In fact as soon as my brother saw it from the little bridge onto the first sister on the walk in(which is stiil
offcially closed but is no worries to walk down) it was over we were going home or at least another crag,
but it was to late to go anywhere else so i suggested "we'll just walk in and up to it anyway for a walk..",
when we got there it was "I'll just start up the 1st pitch and see..." the story went on untill we were one
pitch from the top(the second pitch in the corner) and we were both loving it to bits.
While it is quite intimidating, the climbing and I imagine the aiding also is really straight forward up high,
and you leave all the bad rock behind too, this route is awesome. worth another go maybe summer, it is in
the shade always as far as i know.
Great story
