Life's an Adventure
A friend and I were going after the prize, and long untapped first ascent of a 150' tall dihedral system that looked totally stellar perched high above the forested slope. The proposed route was a series of thin seams and cracks all the way up the corner system.
Our journey would be a 2-day outing with an under-the-stars bivvy in the wooded forest below the Lamberson Butte crag. When we reached the bivvy site, unloaded both backpacks, we suddenly realized just how much heavy iron we both had brought. We both abruptly broke into hearty laughter.
Somehow, we both had, without consulting the other about certain pre-chosen rock climbing hardware that might be needed for doing the first ascent of the route, we had somehow managed to bring a total of over 30+ heavy metal pitons.
Talk about overload !!
So that's how the routes name was struck: The Great Pig Iron Dihedral
