Ascents in Index Town Walls

We asked our friends if it was hard. They said “No, it’s just fun.” They lied. What they should have said was “Yes, very, but it’s also great fun!” We got sandbagged.

Unbelievably classic.

Does it even get better for the grade?

Hard and utterly brilliant the whole way. Do this rock climb.

Not very easy.

Exceptional! Pitch two really is one of the best. And that final 5.10 pitch, oh boy.

Good intro to Index Area. Lots of traffic though.

so good. lots of value, different looks. the ledge mid route you stand up without hands on is so safe but exposed. felt great.

fun and easy. honestly the hardest move was off the deck from p1 just being unexpected. bring a #4 for the first move. of the second pitch if you actually want to protect the hardest move on that one otherwise easy breezy.

fell, then fell again, then fell SIDEWAYS then ran away out left.

my beta was to stem out really far to the right for more security. helped but the top of the finger crack is still strong.

LEAD NEXT TIME

so much fun! easy wins with big moves

so spicy off the deck. I'd say the crux is just getting off the ground and to an actual safe piece of gear. some really fun movement on this one. the ending is a great finish.

sent the second pitch after falling going out right accidentally to the much harder version.

so good! lead next time

fun! would lead for sure.
