Solar Slab

Shirley following pitch 3 (?) of Solar Slab. Thanks to the high winds and cold weather we were finally able to tick off this usually over-crowded classic (Apr. 1, 2006).

Very cool

Glad you got a chance to do this climb. So, what did you think? How did you like the descent?

Re: Very cool

Hi Natasha,

Great fun climb! Our weather was kinda nasty with pounding winds and cold (guess that's why there was less of a traffic jam on it than usual). At times I thought I was going to get blown right off the rock!

There was quite a debate at the top of P6 (?) as to whether we should scramble down or rap. Eventually the rapping option won out but I was almost certain that the ropes would get snagged on the plates (luckily they did not :)

thanks for visiting!
