tyree Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 Climb: Index Upper Town Wall-D Hollnd/Lovin Arms, G Drag-on, T Crier Linkup Date of Climb: 6/24/2005 Trip Report: Fosty The Tradman and I did a linkup of these routes on friday this week. We woke up in Sultan at 3:00 and were climbing the 1st pitch of D-holland by 5:08. We had intended to swap leads halfway through the 1st route but there was no stopping frosty. We were short fixing and leading out on clove hitches while the other person jugged. This was our first attempt at speed climbing and we had a blast! We topped out on the 1st route at 2hrs 22min After rappping to the ground it was my turn to lead the Green Drag-on. After a cluster f%&k at the top of the third pitch we topped out after 6 hours of aiding with a couple of free moves for some spice. Then came the Town Crier. Again another masterful lead by Frosty. I was expecting to bail him out on the fourth or fifth pitch but his momentum was like a freight train and he blasted to the top. All in all we topped out in 14 hrs 14min. We werent tryng to break any records or anything like that. We didnt even know if we could pull it off, it was training for the valley and we had a really fun time at it! Here we are at the top of TC super stoaked Gear Notes: too much shit for all the fixed gear up there Quote
