Caver's, anyone?

Post by Wes »

Hey, helping a friend set up a photo on tower, and need a partner for caver's Saturday afternoon around 4:00. Will involve some rigging at the top, but mostly you would be free to hang out a enjoy the view after doing the climb. I can lead, or follow, either way is fine.

I don't fit thru the squeeze. :(

Did it again yesterday, suffering for someone else's art! ;-)

Going through the hole isn't bad - just go right shoulder up. And for the next pitch, rather then trying to go up as soon as you can, go all the way out the end of the ledge, on the other side of the chock stones, head up toward them, and then head left and out as soon as you get there - there are great feet and hands the whole way, and the squeeze isn't nearly as tight. If you are leading (soloing!) then this way is a little bit headier, because you are doing the last few moves with some air under your feet, and if you start sliding, you will go a long way, rather then just back to a ledge like the rest of the route.

Wes, did you do this Saturday? I did it Sunday and it was literally raining on us throughout the whole second pitch. We were soaked by the time we got to the summit. It was scary $hit.

we must have posted about the same time. So you did it Sunday too? We topped out about 2:30. You must have come after us.
