:D Its a great feeling to climb a route after not having seen a glipse in so many years. On Sat Ross Lynn and I were up in Hyalite hopeing t find " The Shimmy" and the shimmy we did!

Not one to miss as it hasn't made an apperance in years. Whit Magro ticked this one a few days earlier and in doing so plucked the first ascent of the season.
