True or False Moonlight Butress...
OK so I'm looking into soloing Moonlight soon and I'm getting conflicting beta from some web sites. I'll AID as much as I can.
True or False
Moonlight doesn't take any gear bigger than a #1 BD camalot?

If you think false tell me what you placed and where.
We'll see if I do the walk of shame or walk of fame.A good mountaineer dies in his bed.
I'm always looking for rock or ice route info and a partner.

Above the rocker block, on the pitch past the thin corner, before you get to the chimney pitch, there's a spot or two for a larger cam. And I seem to recall on the fourth pitch as well, there's a pod or two that takes larger cams.
And, in several places in the final 3 or so pitches, there's pods to place bigger cams which helps conerve the smaller cams for the splitter cracks.
My partner built an anchor just before the last 5.7 pitch and used bigger cams.
