The Mole, Cashmere Crags. Bob Lewis and I climbed a new route on the Mole, the northeast face, during this past summer. The route begins on the north side of the great chockstone and involves a long class-6 crack-series to the first break in this wall. Later, another aid-pitch was encountered, this one an overhang where both wedges and pitons were used.
