I hiked it this summer just before the fires, looks like around the same time you did. Very sad to think all that beautiful forest is now burnt to a crisp. Nice climb man!
Gorgeous exposure mate! For a relatively short volcano, it sure has character. For the chute where you roped, how did you protect? I'm guessing there aren't bolts up there...
Yea it's a pretty cool little mountain! One of my favorites. For the chimney I just soloed the lead and clipped into the rap station for a top rope for the rest of the team. But It can be protected with small cams with a crack on the right side of the chimney.
I climbed this in 1982 with several other people. It's just terrifying to see it now, especially memorable(!) was the crawl. Appropriately named. WHY OH WHY do people CARRY a rope and not USE it?? The drop off that feature is bottomless.
It is very exposed, but the moves are easy, its class 4 on the crawl. its just personal preference to protect. Personally I love the exposure and it makes me feel more alive. nothing was out of my comfort zone for safety.
Very nice! Glad to see someone doing it with ropes as thats how I want to.
Hey I ended up doing it! This is a good video on it. Checking this again for inspiration on my edit.
what crazy exposure!
Nice! I hiked around it a few years back and always wanted to summit it. Soon I hope.
