Alex Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 Whats the beta on the sporto arete just left of Toxic Shock? Is the common way of climbing this route just to start with the lieback on Toxic Shock and then start clipping from off the ledge? Whats the consensus on the rating? Clint says 5.11something, but it seems easier than most Index 11s I've been on. Quote

scott_harpell Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 are you talking about the one to the right (facting the rock) of toxic shock? cause I only remember moss moss moss to the left. Quote
scott_harpell Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 That bastard is 5.12a slopey and missing 2 hangers, so you'd better traverse over on the ledge partway up toxic shock. my $.02 Quote
scott_harpell Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 Oh the one thatt starts 1/2 way up on the left! yeah, dunno. 11c. Quote
erik Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 dont forgot to top out the route...if you go to the rock horn you are only doing 1/2 of the route. Quote
backcountrydog Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 good route imo. seemed pretty 11c-ish to me. did the FA'er run outta cash for hangers or more index hanger ganking? Quote
