Climb: Menagerie (with pictures)-

 

Date of Climb: 7/16/2004

 

Trip Report:

I returned to the menagerie a week later to attempt the closer approach. All of the gates where open so we where able to get to the look out where you can see the north rabbit ear. We couldnt find the trail down to the old parking area so we just parked at the sump on 850 and hiked the extra 10 min wich still was much better than the other hike in. We hiked straight to rooster rock so I could orient my self, we climbed it again this time I didnt clip any of the bolts just threw in an extra micro cam. Brought a camera this time thats bascially the only reason i posted another TR so I could show the pictures.

You have made me so homesick! In the shot after the rabbit ears you're looking at boulder dome, cockatoo tower, royal arch and thin left to right with just the head of the coyote in the foreground. the next shot is of the cathedral, it only has one route and the first ascent party can't remember where it went??? it may be one of the biggest formations but the approach is beyond horrendous. I'll be back up there soon! Jim
