Peter_Puget Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 Anyone ever climb this route at Smith? The whole thing or jus the top pitches? Spill the beans! Quote
Peter_Puget Posted January 13, 2005 Author Posted January 13, 2005 Abraxas at Index is the opposite of the Abraxas route at Smith because everyone does the bottom and nobody does the top. Quote
bigwalling Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 ya, bottom 2 pitches are all I've done... several times. They are both good and can be made into one pitch. There is like 5 fixed heads on the 2nd pitch so bring some extra. Would like to go higher sometime and replace the bolts. Opps I don't know shit about the one at smith! Quote
jonah Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 Climbed it about 7 years ago. Started raining on us on the last 2 pitches. We skipped the first one, I think, by rapping in from the top. There were some shitty 5/16" bolts for an anchor below a little roof. Maybe someone has replaced these? Fun hand crack, about 2 camalot size, and if I remember right a #3 was good to have, too. The crack had pigeon shit in it, though, which was pretty nasty. All in all a fun route, but like I said, can't vouch for the bottom. I hear it's sketchy. Quote
