First Time to Lee Vining Canyon
Posted: Sat Dec 24, 2011 12:41 am
I'm planning on heading up to Lee Vining after Christmas and had a few questions:
1. Do you need a 70M rope to TR? I am more then capable to lead WI3 but my partner has a bum shoulder and will be there just to belay and enjoy being outdoors. Will this become a problem?
2. How hard will it be to find bolts? I know it all depends on how much ice is there. I do have the Guide book, is it pretty accurate?
3. How easy/time consuming is the walk off descent from the climbs?
4. Anything else I should know that would be helpful to me and other climbers there?
Sorry for the noob questions but want I to be prepared...
