From there, it appeared that a poorly protected traverse was required. I scramble the initial 10 feet before roping up, in which Bob states, he was not willing to carry an additional plaque in my behalf.

A fall from the summit block of Cathedral, for example, would kill you. Same for some of the other peaks. Be sure to do your research before you venture out.

Simkin wrote:Especially Michael minaret. I suspect that nobody ever did it as a dayhike. Especially the route suggested by Bob: free soloing the Amphitheater chute and descending Starrs chute. He definitely did not do it himself. In reality he did it as a multi-day hike. Ascended Amphitheater chute using a rope and rappelled down the same chute.

You would be wrong. http://www.snwburd.com/bob/trip_reports/michael_minaret_2.html
Day 2 of the 2006 Sierra Challenge. The trick is to ascend the Rock Route on Michael Minaret, traverse to Eichorn Minaret and then do Michael. Then you can rap Amphitheater Chute when you're done and return via South Notch. All under 13hrs.

Bob Burd wrote:Michael Minaret is rated class 4 via Stars Chute, Eichorn Chute, and from The Portal. Should be easier than 5.4, no?
