The Drive

Once again, I forgot my camera. Sorry about not having any pictures.

Great Northern Slab, 3 pitches.

Travis and I had a great day at Index! We didn't have much time as we both had to be back in Seattle for work. We started off with the 3 pitch Great Northern Slab. On the second pitch we climbed the arching double cracks right above the little roof. After climbing the 3rd pitch we rappelled back down to the 2nd pitch and top-roped the cool upper crack of Libra. I felt I had to try the crux crack of Libra so I rappelled to the railroad bolts and top-roped the great headwall crack. I managed to make it up the crack pretty quick and without falling! Hopefully next time I will try to lead it. We'll see!
