| Be There Or Be Talked About November 2007. Is very nice climbing although I still have sand in my eyes, my nostrils, my anoos and my hrem.
West Face October 14, 2005. Shirley and I were on our way to Indian Creek for a Splitter Camp (3 INCREDIBLE days...separate story) and wanted to get 1/2 day worth of climbing beforehand. This tower and route fit the bill. Fun stuff! Awkward start, followed by great hands on P1 and a pain in the a.. OW thru. bulge (10+ or C1 for us). Only got about 1/3rd to 1/2 of P2 free before I busted out the aiders. The .11 crux on pitch 2 looked MIGHTY hard - probably face climbing with a sh!tty seam for pro (on top of that you get your standard Arches sandy surface...) P3 was an easy but very fun wide chimney. The summit is incredible! You got the whole "Courthouse Towers Cluster" spread before you!! You also get to jump over the chimney to explore both halves of the North summit :) |
