Rafael_H Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hi everybody. What gear does the first pitch of Sagittarius at Index take after the piton? I top-roped it just once a while ago and recall it not easing up after pulling the roof. If I am wrong, then forget it. If it is indeed sustained at .11 then a fall can be... what, up to 30+ft? and perhaps slamming the wall if the last piece is under the roof. Thanks!

Sol Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I assume your talking full sagg? Back the pin up with some yellow/red alien size in a crack under the roof, it does occasionally come out. Climb through the roof (crux) and you can get a BD .75 (an orange alien fits better) in to protect the mantle to the anchor stance. It' on the right and is pretty dang bomber.

keenwesh Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I've been climbing at index forever and somehow have yet to try sagittarius, it's on the list for this year! I'll keep that beta in mind if I go for the full sag, thanks sol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
