Location: WY : Devil's Tower : Durrance Approach : Durrance (5.7) By: Just Another Anonymous User When: Oct 3, 2005 | view comment >> |
Comments: Did this climb in 3 pitches using double 60m ropes. This was only possible because there were no parties immediately ahead of us...got lucky with the timing. Linked pitches 1-2, 3-4-5, then the direct finish. Very little rope drag on the upper pitches using doubles.
On the 2nd pitch (Durrance crack), the left hand crack is somewhat polished in spots so it didn't feel all that secure when jamming hands and feet. Good off width technique in the right crack would go a long way in making this... more >>

Comments: To begin, I'm pretty much a wuss. Having said that, I took one of the scariest falls of my life on this route...tapped my belayer on the shoulder. I would just like mention that one ought to be cautious when clipping bolt #4 and to do so from an appropriate position. That's all i'll say.

Comments: If you want to protect the first moves but didn't bring gear try knotting a runner & wedging that in the cracks. I found a 'placement' that might have actually held a fall...
