The Barb on Spearhead June 2006 - Craig and I took Friday off work to have Spearhead to ourselves. Our plan worked. There was one group of 3 on the North Ridge route, but we were the only ones on the big east face all day.
The Barb ended up being 7 pitches, though a number of them are short to get nice belay spots. This counts P2 for which we unroped and scrambled. The pitches get harder as you go. The last 1.5 were over my head. It was quite desperate, I was getting tired, and the weather was coming in. Craig and I were both a bit stressed as we finished the last (and crux at 10b) pitch in threatening weather. It started to sprinkle as we began to bail down the North Ridge route and was pouring before we reached the ground. Thankfully we were as early as we were. We were actually in pretty good shape for an early storm since we got an early start, climbed at a reasonabe pace, and did a short (for Spearhead) route.
