new2ctownclimbr Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Anyone with any tales to tell about free climbing the first pitch of Shirley. I've been up it on t.r. without falling and am curious how it went for people who led it. I'm not looking for reasurance so don't candy coat. I just think it's a cool climb that probably is rarely led. Probably like many Index routes but probably I don't know a damn thing because I've only been climbing at Index for 3 months, probably. Sprayers, spray on. Quote
RuMR Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 its not too bad...you can really fish in a lot of small gear before launching into the crux...i think i pushed it with my feet about 4 feet above a grey tcu and small nut nest. Keep going until you get the jug jam and you are done...you could probably get a slider or something small mid crux, but its more trouble than its worth... Quote
soulreaper Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 I put a few pieces in (before the crux) and took a lead fall on them before redpointing the thing. A little bit of fiddling is required with the gear but once it's in right, it's good. Quote
RuMR Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 hey SR...heard about your "interesting" flight time at index... shudder... Quote
