Climb: Exfoliation Dome-Westward Ho

 

Date of Climb: 7/25/2004

 

Trip Report:

Just wanted to inform that I went up there today and fixed missing belay station and another damaged station. Use caution if going for the summit, as it appears that there is an increased amount of loose stuff on ledges. Otherwise, we had a great day at one of my favorite spots.

 

Gear Notes:

Small rack to 2", 9 qds

Were you part of the couple that arrived about 6:00PM Friday afternoon? We were rapping down Westward Ho at that time after finishing up the Blueberry route.

 

Big thumbs up for taking the time to head up there and repair the stations.

Nope- that was Steve and Wendy. We were up on Sun morning. You must have had a very hot day. 98 in town= lots more up there!

[JayB]

Yeah we the full-on reflector oven going on up there. The only thing working in our favor was starting out a couple of hours before the sun hit the face and a fairly constant breeze on the upper portions of the route.
