Trip: enchantments hike - south face prusik climb - beckey-davis

 

Date: 10/10/2009

 

Trip Report:

Sky persuaded me to take a day off work to climb something S-facing, hoping for sun. We left a cold Stuart lake trailhead at around 430a, & arrived at the base of Prusik under still-cloudy skies and snowflakes. So, waited/shivered for over 3 hours until the slowly teasing sun warmed the rock. We actually had intended to climb Solid Gold, which appears stellar, but the waning day and cold temps persuaded us to motor up something more modest. The route features good rock and climbing, and we finished up a Libra-esque splitter thin-hands crack that directly hits the summit.
