Not exactly "haul "the whole way - I can walk on my own! ; )
I'm gonna be in Zion for a day, and would like to do this hike, but don't have the gear/technical know how to do it alone. Anyone just happen to be out there (or local) wanna do this?

Wow, 5.7 yards? Way to be precise.Quote:
The second spot is not too far up the hill; a right facing off width dihedral about 12' high, weighing in at about V-0 or 5.7 yards.
(disclaimer: I know what the Yosemite Decimal System is.)
Just in case you brought a 5.6 yard rope, and got your hopes up.Quote:

Advice on that point: stick to the YDS and delete the boulder rating.
Randi, I wish I was going to be there then - I'd be game to climb/hike that, especially after trying some of my first sandstone trad climbing in Red Rocks last week. What a rush. Unfortunately, I'll be there a week after you.Quote:

First of all it is rated 5.7 according to me. Errors do happen. 5.7 yards was obviously a typo.Quote:

Opps...... :oops:Quote:

Randi! :nono: Quit causing problems. :lol8:
I thought it was a cute typo.
I walk into the wilderness tomorrow. No backpack, no tent, no pad. If I survive, you'll hear from me before 10/15
Any clothes? Making a TV show?Quote:

Here's my TR from when we did Jacob Canyon, on the other side. Makes for a nice loop "hike".Quote:

Hey, thanks. I'll actually be back in Zion the following Th. (11th) to do Kolob but am probably
heading to DV after that. Yeah, it's too bad we can't meet up. But thanks a bunch for being receptive to hanging out. Maybe some other time? I'm always game to head to Zion for a weekend! Ugh, looks like you live kinda far away though...
I'm not big into climbing, but I really enjoy it. And I

Yeah, great day. Lady Mtn was on my radar for YEARS, but, finally got 'er off the list back then. A friend (seasoned climber, second "non-Lowe" ascent of the Lowe Route on the NF of Angel's Landing) highly recommended it as a fun romp, and he was right.Quote:

Chatted with Jeff Lowe a tad about that terrain and what was no doubt his hardware from climbing back in the 70's we used as anchors in Jacob. Pretty neat.
Boulder up to V0 on the Lady Mtn route? Geez, that's what, like 5.10a or so? Nah, not on that route.
Also, my ascent was tainted by the grabbing of the little iron nub with my right hand...so, 5.6 A0...ha ha.
Neat gig. Get an early start. We weren't flying up (or down) the thing, but, we didn't get lost either.
