bedellympian Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 Sounds like you need to go do it and see if there are any old pins or tat. Quote
genepires Posted August 5, 2018 Posted August 5, 2018 I remember looking at that before that big rock scar. I bet very few people contemplate it after that scar appeared. Massive. Quote
Hans Travis Posted August 9, 2018 Author Posted August 9, 2018 @bedellympian I was bored on a hot day and hiked up to the base with a big zoom lens, and there were no remnants of any kind that I could see. It is fairly solid looking granite though, besides the huge scar. Quote
JonNelson Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 Back in about 1988 or so, I climbed up it a few pitches with Isao Fujita. We hiked and scrambled up a gully that had a few tricky spots where we might have gotten out our rope. Then, upon getting onto the wall itself, the rock seemed fine, but did not have the nice crack lines of the more popular walls at Index. So, at the time, we weren't super impressed with the quality. But seeing the stuff people climb on these days, one might regard the rock in a new light. Not having a drill with us, we avoided the blanker face lines and fought through a bit of brush. Some years later, two huge rock falls happened. Quote
Eric T Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 I've been to the base of it as well, right at the slide debris. It's loose and scary. Quote
