What you have described has been on my mind for a long time! My plan was to head up some route on GNS, do Timberjack, Plum Pudding, then Waiting for the Sun...sounds awesome however you slice it.
FYI, you can't get from the top of the Timberjack to the next tier very easily. It would involve a 5th class dirt romp and would be pretty scary. Gorilla My Dreams is a much better option for this linkup.

And how about the large granite wall that you can see down the road, just before you take the left turn over the bridge into Index? Sore thumb? thimble? I cant remember what it was called...
DRep and I hiked up there once to check it out. It didn't seem worth the while once we actually got up to it. Plus, that whole southwest face had major rockfall a couple times in the the last year. The gully below the buttress was littered with debris and I didn't feel safe being below it.

You can just use google. Just type the following into the search bar.
Yakima Basket site:craigslist.org
That will search the entire craigslist domain.

Argus, I can almost guarantee it isn't that guy. I climbed with "that guy" roughly two months ago, and in no way could his hair be that long by now. Also they look different
My last piece of evidence, is "that guy" in your picture happens to be an extremely upstanding and kind guy. I have a hard time believing he even has it in his nature to think about doing that.
Cool,thanks for backing him up. They looked very similar with the hats and all. I took his pic down.

Who thinks this is the same guy?

It looks like they traversed from the saddle out to the bowl on the north side, then ran out of time after climbing for a bit and traversed back to the west ridge and back down to the saddle.
P.S. It's in the Madison Range, not the Missions.

took almost 10 days before my body chemistry returned to normal.
Not sure it has ever returned back to normal.

I think the red circle is where the pin is and the green circle is where the anchor is located. It's been a couple of years, so don't quote me on it.

The topo in Darryl Cramer’s guidebook Sky Valley Rockshows an “FP” at an overhang not far off the ground. Weekend Rock shows a “pin.” Scott looked for it, when I followed I looked for it, several days later I led this and looked for the “FP” and then when rapping down I looked some more…….. the “FP” in the topo no longer exists. Scott beginning Pitch 1.
The pin was there a couple of years ago when I climbed it. I think it's in the thin overlap out in the middle of the face.

You should try Rattletale.

Anyway, the CURRENT MOUNTAINPROJECT CONSENSUS is 5.9! STAY TUNED FOR MORE EXCITING ROUTE GRADING DEVELOPMENTS!
It's 5.8 according to Cummins.

5.10c according to Cash.

Also, what area (in Darrington) would feature more vertical climbing? rather than multiple pitches of slab...
What beach can you go to that doesn't have any water?
-
I don't think there are any laws in Index. You may have a hard time keeping the soggy bottom boys from drinking all your beer though.

EDK for rappels.

Looks like a sweet Epinephrine-style chimney variation possible on Pitch 4?
It would be hard to justify getting into that chimney after seeing the steep sweet jugs out left.
There's a very nice chimney on the frontside of Disappearing Buttress. It's the 1st pitch of Missing Nothing and is a tad bit easier than anything on Epinephrine, but would be good practice. There's also a tree at the top that you could set up a rappel.

Any particular routes you're thinking of? Might be able to sneak out of work for a day.
-
The approach tends to put most folks off, but that it the beauty of RR, something for absolutely everyone.
True statement about the approaches. I think Black Dagger and Armatron are a couple of the best routes I have done there.
-
amazing picture!
We should rap bolt it with a power drill.
-
There road is open. Snow level was very high up there last Sunday. We had to hike to 4,000' on north facing terrain until we hit snow.

Lastly you can go out 160 going past black velvet onto Lovell rd and camp but that is quite a ways out from both the city and most of the park.
Further from Vegas, but so much closer to the awesome Mountain Springs Saloon.
Vegas is hurting right now, so you should be able to find a deal. If you're staying during the week, you should be able to get a hotel room for $25/night or so. Weekends are a different story. You couldn't pay me to stay at the campground.

Have fun Dave.
