Wagassa, 5.8

Wagassa, 5.8

Descent Down climb the chimney to the north and you will find (2007) a slung sandstone bolder used for rappel. In 2007 it had fairly new cordellete on it. Rappel back to the 1st pitch station and rappel to ground from there using double 50m ropes as a minimum. We had a single 60m rope, as per the guide book suggestion, and it does not do the rappel. I left a #10 hex 10 meters from the ground. I had to rap over a significant arch knowing the rope did not reach the ground and not knowing what options I would have to place gear. Luckily I found a nasty flaring crack that I just got by with (photo). Wagassa, 5.8, 3 Pitches, West End, Snow Canyon, June, 2007
