"Magic Carpet Ride" a new route

On Feb. 25, 2005 Pete Tapley and I went for a day in good old Hyalite Canyon. We started out on the ever so plesant "Magically Delicious". What next? Anyone who has climbed on the unnamed wall has probably seen this thing. If you look on page 99 in "Winter Dance" you can see a little blob of ice on the top of the cliff just right of the "Magically Delicious" line. That's it! She climbs way better than she looks, as do most things in Hyalite. Start in the brownish clean(compared to the other options) corner and work up and right over bulge. Low angle rock and thin ice take you to the blob and then to a wonderful bush wacking finish. It really is tons of fun, no shit. It's in the M5 range. Take it all: blades, baby angles, specters, small cams, big cams, and screws then go for a "Magic Carpet Ride". Whit Magro
