Climb: Ensakwatch Enchainment-North, South sSPires and Rexford

 

Date of Climb: 7/7/2006

 

Trip Report:

Dr Hook and I were looking for something quick and fun for a Friday outing. We settled on the enchainment of the spires and rexford.

 

The trail was easy to find and the 4wd approach was fun as well..wide trucks may have problems with the last bit of the road.

 

The trip went well and the only real issue was the morning dew, WOW, Never seen so much..by the end of the clear cut we both had to fully disrobe and ring our clothes out..our boots had about a cup of water freely pour out.

 

After that that it was smooth sailing 2 hours to the base of the first spire. The spires were awesome and the climbing firm and easy. The rope came out for the last few meters of eaach spire and the bit coming out of the col on Rexford. We had heard conflicting reports of crappy rock out of that col but we found one of the nicest pitches on the entire route here so...The whole thing was amazing and if you are looking for a quick day covering lots of ground this is a must do.

 

Bivouac.com has a party going car to car in 10.5 hours..we did it in about 13 moving reasonably fast but still stopping for breaks.

 

Pics tomorrow

Gear Notes:

6 cams, 4 draws, 6 nuts, one twin rope.
