Climb: Rooster Rock in the Menagerie-5.4 backside route on the rooster

 

Date of Climb: 2/20/2006

 

Trip Report:

The climb is clear where the sun hits it but god damn, what a shitty thing in the shade. Did the sketchiest lead of my life on 5.4 covered in ice and snow. Skyclimb would be proud if this sketchfest. Snow on every hold and a thin iceflow right through the center of the climb. In retrospect, I shoulda just turned around, but I had a friend with me who had never been to the top, so I had to do it. Still, the top made it almost worth it.

 

Gear Notes:

slung up the old iron anchors for the fire lookout as pro because the cracks were filled with ice.

 

Approach Notes:

tail is reasonably clear.

I did that thing back in 1990 after we were over the hill in the Keith creek drainage. Is there still parts of that delapedated lookout tower on the summit. I still have a rusty nail I picked up off the summit. Most of the stucture had fallen off towards the highway. Just curious.
