telemarker Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) ...may be the best multipitch climb in WA 2 hours or less from your car door. Outer Space (with the RPM start) is a close second. Carry on.... Edited August 5, 2013 by telemarker Quote
tanstaafl Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 So does that mean you found a willing victim for your SCW outing on saturday then? Quote
telemarker Posted August 5, 2013 Author Posted August 5, 2013 Yes, but we went back to Index instead. I can't believe I've neglected Index for so long. Quote
tanstaafl Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 I've been kind of surprised by that myself. Congratulations on broadening your horizons! Quote
Sherri Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 I can't believe I've neglected Index for so long. Welcome back. Will be good to see you out there sometime. Quote
DRep Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Nice John, Next on your list should be Heavens Gate! Index is not a place to neglect... Dave Quote
telemarker Posted August 9, 2013 Author Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) Nice John, Next on your list should be Heavens Gate! Index is not a place to neglect... Dave Did it the following weekend! Loved it and the Lamplighter pitch is thoroughly ass kicking. And the final pitch is a hoot. Edited August 9, 2013 by telemarker Quote
telemarker Posted August 9, 2013 Author Posted August 9, 2013 I can't believe I've neglected Index for so long. Welcome back. Will be good to see you out there sometime. Thanks Sherri! It was about time I venture a little further West of Castle Rock. Quote
Sol Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Nice work telemarker! A few for the list: Centerfold ( can be a good approach to UTW), Golden Road, Jungle Fun to Tempichuous. Quote
stevetimetravlr Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Heavens Gate looks like a blast, very cool. Quote
telemarker Posted August 9, 2013 Author Posted August 9, 2013 It is a blast. If anything, you should climb the Lamplighter pitch. It's got every type of technique on that pitch. Quote
Rad Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Sweet! The lieback above the crack section on Lamplighter felt harder than anything on Heaven's Gate. Maybe I just didn't know how to approach it. Stepping on the bolt seemed to work though Quote
