1024 viewsThis shows just how difficult this crack and primitive rope method is to do !
|
|
1023 viewsThe landing point below the crack. As you can see there is not much rope leftover and it was about a 60 foot long piece.
|
|
1022 viewsLooking up at Tyler who is back at the top of the crack. He was the first one down and back before any of the rest of us went down but, he eventually came back down again to join John and I to continue much farther down to explore the cliffs more thoroughly

|
1019 viewsOne has to be very careful here as it would be very easy to walk off a sheer vertical drop as it lined our right side all the way down once we found the right finger ridge

1018 viewsThis is the view looking up from just below the point (Fornication Point) where the rope landing zone is as we continue to climb lower on the main cliff spine

1012 viewsGoing left from the rope landing point, I found a VERY narrow ledge that I followed a long ways around the side of the cliffs. It is about 60 feet down from the top and there is about a 70 to 80 foot vertical drop below it where you would hit ground that is far from anything called level.
