jordop Posted April 13, 2004 Posted April 13, 2004 New BD catalogue has pic of this place. Never heard of it, so I googled it and got this: http://zanskar0.tripod.com/greyskullvalley2003/index.html Too bad rock was/is bad, looks kool Quote
2morehours Posted April 13, 2004 Posted April 13, 2004 ...oohhhh, there's GOT to be a Skeletor worthy line here... Quote
southernmtguide Posted April 13, 2004 Posted April 13, 2004 Talk with Dave Anderson before commiting alot of time and effort here. He says the rock was incredibly bad. FWIW. Quote
Farrgo Posted April 13, 2004 Posted April 13, 2004 Ya, I also had the pleasure of talking with Dave when he did a show up in B'ham earlier this year. The rock is supposed to be insanely bad to the tune of multiple 40+foot falls while aiding as well as many many shorter ones. Too bad the scenery is incredible. Quote
jordop Posted April 15, 2004 Author Posted April 15, 2004 Now if I could only figure out where this one is . . . anybody know? See attach : "Scenic alpine campsite. Some loose rock. No Crowds. British Columbia." photo by Sean Issac Quote
Stemalot Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 hum...there's got to be some good rock around there... perhaps another expedition... or maybe wait until fall or early winter to do some ice climbing. Quote
Dru Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 Sean's photo looks like limestone or quartzite, maybe a strongly foliated gneiss. Quote
layton Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 or is saying the rock sucks a smart way to keep everyone away from this area. i'd do some more research from non-climbers to verify this. Quote
fern Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 Â maybe that no crowds British Columbia place is the Leaning Towers ? Quote
MrDoolittle Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 Gee, I don't know, maybe it's on the MAP? Quote
