Cpt.Caveman Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 Where can I get a detailed good topo for SR of Gimli? The one I found on the web was crappo. Dru why don't you just draw one up for me and send it in the mail or scan it? I'd like to aid the 5.7 sandbag climb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dru Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 p1: Climb corner on toe of ridge good stemmin or chimney it like FA party did. Move right under roof and up to ledge, Climb crack above ledge to good belay. 5.7 60m take lots of hand size cams or hexes p2 continue up ridge to top of pinnacle 40m 5.6 p3 step across gap and follow cracks and face holds up and right to ridge crest then cut back left up overhanging fingerflake to belay ledge 50m 5.7 p4 go up ridge 5.6 p 5 go up ridge 5.6 p6 climb corner to under roof. go left under roof on funky undercling (orange TCU) till able to to reach left hand up and over for hidden thank god jug 5.7++ p7 do some easy climbing up and left on slabs p8-10 4th class and 3rd class and hike to top. Descend E ridge (4th class for 10m at top then 3rd, dont need rope or rap). Should take under 12 hours round trip from car except if trapped behind slow parties as it can be hard to pass. Smoke some Kootenay bud afters. That 1974 5.7 sure feels hard but those guys (Greg Shannon, Peter Koedt, Peter Rowat) were real men back then not wimpy bolt clippers. Originally led in hiking boots!

layton Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 Look in the summit register on the 9/11 tradgedy. You'll see my name. Also, look a few days or weeks before that. There is either a funny, or scary entry about a guy that came up there to kill himself, then the following entries of folks trying to find the jumper. Good drama on the mtn.
