counterfeitfake Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I toproped the offwidth to the left of P3 Rattletale last night and got my ass pretty well kicked. Does anybody know what this is called or rated? Is it in Sky Valley Rock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good2Go Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Chasin the Lizard, 10a. Yet another "forgotten" Index classic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter_Puget Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Â I toproped the offwidth to the left of P3 Rattletale last night and got my ass pretty well kicked. I think he is talking about the left crack in the p3 chimney not another route as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinfox Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Maybe you are talking about "Avenging the Goddess Kring" 10a Great long pitch with some #4 camalot size crack and a thin crack. Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counterfeitfake Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 Fox, I am not talking about that, although we had a look at it on the way down. Looks good, and a party we met up there had just come off it and gave it the thumbs-up. Â Peter is right, it's the wide crack in the left side of the bay, up the right side of which goes Rattletale P3. Vertical to slightly overhanging, and probably 9" wide, not quite wide enough to get my hip in, but narrow enough for heel-toe most of the way and good chicken-winging (if there is such a thing). Oh and dirty and mossy, although less so today than yesterday. Â Is that Chasin' the Lizard? I was guessing it would be an Index 5.10a OW but I don't know me offwidths so good.

Alpinfox Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Aha. Gotcha. Yeah, I think that would be mighty hard. Â Here is a pic: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucK Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I tried doing it last year on toprope and it was very hard for me. I gave up (and stemmed) before topping out, but not before it got me all abraded and demoralized Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckaroo Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Â (without the stem) Looks like good training for the hollow flake on Salathe. Â It's fun to explore at Index Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
