Title: North Eagle Beak
Post by: mungeclimber on January 15, 2014, 10:17:30 pm

Are there really only like two routes on the main face?

Are you referring to the East face?

The West side is much shorter so yes, it would be the East side that has five routes. Some of the lines drawn in the Shuteye Guide are guesses yet somehow they have star ratings. Not sure how that works.

Pretty long but beautiful approach(es). The rock is less appealing on the far right (North) side.

Broken Wing is right there also and really cool and there are no lines to wait in. I would be happy to share info on what we have done there.
