[TR] Upper Town Wall - Green Dragon 4/30/2011

[Kimmo]

hey, fun read on the tr. good stuff.

[Bronco]

Thanks for the stoke! It's a great TR when it inspires one to break out the guidebook and check the weather forecast.

after the 2nd one blew I figured as much. P1 and P5 had sections of shitty rock, I didn't lead P3 or 4 but I think they're pretty solid. P2 would be almost impossible to cleanly aid without camhooks however.

 

were you top-stepping?

 

[The Ospray]

Great video, and nicely done guys!

[Tyson.g]

Redneck part of Washington?

Man you ain't seen nothing.

You should come spend the weekend with some of us up-river boys!

 

Great video and good work gentlemen.

were you top-stepping?

 

the aiders I have are hand tied ladders and I made the top step too high. I can get into the 2nd highest step pretty easily but on the actual top step I can't really stand up as the line clipping my waist to the piece is right around my knees. I just deal with it.

[Layback]

Nice job guys. Saturday was anything but nice - I think we saw you in the lot at 6:00 a.m.

 

What kind of skyhook did you drop? I was 1 of the 4 people on TC and GD on Sunday.

[keenwesh]

red piece of webbing.

Who made it? Pretty sure I picked it up and I'd be happy to get it back to you.

[keenwesh]

look at the picture in the TR. thats it. it's marks hook and he bought it used. I'll be in index or leavenworth all next week depending on the weather. I'd send mark a PM though. rocketparrolet

[Layback]

Cool beans. Just sent you and Mark a PM. It was easy to find because it was right next to the water bottle I dropped. baa

[rocketparrotlet]

Cool, I thought that hook was lost for good. Thanks for letting me know you found it.

 

I really couldn't imagine doing pitch 2 without cam hooks unless I had some ball nuts or something else like them. I found them to be awesome when climbing this route.

[keenwesh]

Yo mods,

I'll fix the photos on this if you give me the ability to edit my post.

 

 

[Josh Lewis]

I'm with keenwesh, I've had times where I could not edit my own trip report that needed fixing. This really ought to be considered.
