Index or Darrington Friday

I have Friday off to climb, how about sometihng in Index or Darrington? I was thinking G.M. at Index and some stuff at the lower wall, and there's some routes I'd like to lead there too (easier stuff). In Darrington, I was thinking maybe Dreamer or Safe Sex, or something on Three O'Clock Rock. I can follow 5.9, lead 5.7. I've got a rope and a rack, but no car.

Yes, nearly all Darrington routes require a 2nd rope for rappels.

 

You can rap from at least one or two Three O'Clock Rock routes without two ropes, Dreamer was for years treated as a walk-off-the-back-side outing and, from the looks of it, I think folks are rapping the West Slabs route on Blueberry Hill with a single rope (but it means rapping from single bolts on Westward Ho).

 

You need a 2nd rope but do they have to be "doubles?" No.
