Captain Fantastic

Postby Fred » Tue Nov 14, 2006 2:21 pm

I'm looking for some help with this route description.

The original description went something like this (but I don't have it with me at the moment)

About 20' uphill from Rockstar, below a ledge with tree, climb crimp ledges and finger crack to tree.

Here is my question. I'm positive this tree is the same mentioned in the Mjilner description. However, is Captain Fantastic only a direct variation to Mjilner? Meaning it merges with the top crack of Mjilner? But this sort of leads me to a two part question. Mjilner climbs parallel crack left of Valkeries but does it go left to another vertical finger crack directly below the tree or does it go right to the ledge partway up Valkeries to pull through the second crux of Valkeries? Either way, Mjilner goes to the tree then up through a notch behind the tree instead of finishing on Valkeries flake/chimney.

I guess a sketch would help here eh?! hehe
I want to go to hell... there's probably lots of rock to climb there.
