MTNEER Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Many of you have noticed the huge walls on the west side of Mt. Zion. As a part of the survey we went up there Sunday. The results: 1. We found no easy way to the base of the walls. It is an hour to an hour and a half of rough hiking no matter which way you go. There is a flagged route up to the the large wall with the arched overhang. A lot of brush and blow down at the start. 2. The Rock - It is almost a conglomerate stone. Many pebbles in a matrix that varies unpredictably from marginal sandstone to hard dirt. This may not be news for many but I felt it needed to be validated. Perhaps in the future, someone will find that some of those lines that are so enticing from the road, will actually turn out to be really good. However, with the limited time available to me I'm going to move on to sites with easier access and and better stone. MTNEER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
