dave schultz Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Anyone want to do some aid climbing at index Friday or Saturday? Wx is questionable, but Saturday looks the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BriceBurtonImag Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 How hard are you looking at aiding? Trying to get some more experience in aid climbing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave schultz Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 Pretty simple and basic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete_H Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 If you cut down a few trees you could probably drive right to the base of the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised it made it this long without a comment. I don't currently own a chainsaw, so unfortunately I can't ... Anyway, the 3-min walk in is a good warmup for the 5.6 GNS and the easy aid climbs, I'd hate to start climbing too cold ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 You will notice that most aid done at Index is done solo. I can't see putting a belayer through hours of that drudgery. Last time I was aiding there were 5 other soloists!! Good thing there is lots of routes to choose from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were both pretty new (ie first time doing pure aid), so it was good to have a little backup and support. I can see doing most of the rest of the aid climbing solo, at least on smaller stuff, like at Index. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
