MissNormandy Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 A little bird told me that there is no overnight camping allowed on Index? Anyone know if there is any truth to that??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I just noticed something. As far as I can tell, MN has never started her own thread. Why is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissNormandy Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 BC I'm a newb... I don't know enough about this place to be starting threads yet. I don't want to start a thread that has already been started and since I don't really know anything about climbing I don't really feel like I have anything to contribute.

Attitude Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 MissNormandy said: A little bird told me that there is no overnight camping allowed on Index? Anyone know if there is any truth to that??? The mountain or the climbing walls? The climbing walls called Index are next to the town of Index. The Mt. Index is the large lump of choss across Hwy 2 next to Persis. Most posts here are about the crag climbing next to town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_Puget Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 It will be less confusing when the NEW ROCK CLIMBING FORUM is set up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg_W Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Peter_Puget said: It will be less confusing when the NEW ROCK CLIMBING FORUM is set up! What's the point of a rock climbing forum? Sheesh. To answer Ms. NOrmandy's question, there are a few bivy spots across from the climber's parking lot at the climbing area. I think there are a few campsites at the lake (Serene), but you have to get away from the trail and water. Only time I've seen tents up there is in the winter; although, I don't hike there in the summer. Bivy and no one will be the wiser.

bigwalling Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 I left at about 11. No way can I do that Even Steven. That thing looks hard! I did the lower part of it though. Also did the wide crack over by agent orange. Was going to do Toxic Shock but my mom brought me and wanted to go home since we leave for California on Saturday. Erik were you really up there??? You must have gone up the trail at 12 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary_Yngve Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 TLG, Eric8, and I were there. I was a complete dumbass and left my rockshoes at home, but luckily Eric's fit my feet pretty well. Onsight-flashed Princely Ambitions (quite a heady lead, pretty sustained... I like it!!!), but hung on a piece on Libra Crack (a biner was being feisty and refusing to clip).

Gary_Yngve Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 http://www.mountainwerks.org/cma/2003/shorts.htm#INDEXCLIMBING4 has a description of the crux... it describes a long leftward hand traverse after the rightward traverse and step up. I walked [carefully] across the thin ledge instead of hand-traversing beneath it (which looked much worse)... weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
