Adventioneering

We also headed up today to the Index wall. I was hoping to find some Toproping locations to teach Victoria rope technique but this is a pretty advanced area that due to the topography doesn’t seem to any good toproping. A local craiger suggested to we try North Bend, so I think we will. Beautiful wall, I think he said the easiest was a 3-pitch 5.6.

Turns out that after 50 years there’s a risk that the wall will finally be closed. The private owner of the land is considering selling it to a quarry concern, which I am told was its original purpose many years ago. The owner is willing to sell it to a climbing foundation which is now trying to raise money to purchase the land.
