derekpearson Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Trip: Index - Solitude Date: 7/24/2011 Trip Report: After cleaning cracks in 2009 I returned this year and did some more work and decided it was time to climb it Gear Notes: gear to 4" (4" on P1 and near the end of P5) I used camalots single 2,3,4 double from 00 to 1 double set of nuts were usful 1/8 to 3/4 the doubles are mainly for P5 its about 130' P2 and P3 take single rack to #3 with nuts being useful rappel the route with two ropes chain belays at the top look for chain around tree, chain belay at the lip of the wall is troublesome to lower from. Approach Notes: The approach is the same for private idaho take a left where the trail forks for private idaho and follow the creek bed and take the next right where the trail has washed out soon you will see a big roof above scramble up and right and you will see P1 obvious crack with chain belay.

derekpearson Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) Thanks, I added some close up pictures of some of the crux sections. It's a fun climb, P5 especialy. I'm currently working on two more five picth climbs in the same area but I don't get to go out as much as I would like so progress is slow. Some work I do is at night with short days now.
