yeah, he abandoned that project, he began to clean it, but “youd be so fuckin scared up here………..pause…….at least i would….” he was still working rastaman as of two weeks ago. but his stay in bishop is pretty much done. hes coming down south to hopefully do the sit to somewhere in time.

i saw matt birch try it a couple times in Feb as well when me and my group were working on Evilution. I had no idea it was a project.

Birch is also working on a route about ten feet to the right of Evilution that also seems to lead up to the lip. I looked in the guildebook to see what it was and there was nothing in there, so it looks to be something new.

I don’t really know, but I believe the pictures of Matt trying it were taken in February.

Is Matt Birch still working it? He must be on good form after sending Mandala SDS – come on the Brits!

There is a reason why rastaman sit is still a project in Bishop. When it goes, it will be the hardest problem in Bishop and without a doubt one of the hardest in North America. There is a reason why it is still a project when you think of all the strong climbers that have spent time in Bishop over the past 10 years. Good luck Paul.

Steve – Thanks for the added info.

Tim – I could think of a lot worse places I would want to be stuck rehabbing an injury although it would be really hard with all that great climbing so close by.

JPWILL – Thanks for the additional info. I adjusted the post as well. I didn’t mean to give the impression it was some bolt clipping mecca. It just seemed like the climbing there was relatively safe and straightforward and not some sort of chossy alpine gnar-fest which was why I found the post very intriguing.
