My Favorite Things, Clouds Rest
|
Has anyone climbed My Favorite Things on Clouds Rest in Tuolunme since the rockfall a couple of weeks ago? I had this climb on my to-do list this summer but I'm worried about the state of the hangers and/or rubble on the route since the collapse. Maybe I should go up with a bolt kit to replace hangers in case they've been broken off? I just don't want to go half way up the route just to rappel and retreat.....any info at all? |

What was the rock fall situation? |

Here's a link to rock and ice describing the damage |

If no one knows, maybe just go check it out? Most of the route can be rapped with double ropes. |

Well, a couple of years ago some rocks fell and bent hangers and damaged bolts on the route as well. So I'm worried about climbing up there and getting to a set of newly ripped apart hangers and not being able to rappel at all. I know I COULD go check it out for myself but I don't get very many opportunities to get up into this area and so when I do take time off from work to go climb something, I like to know the conditions beforehand to make sure I can send. I know SOMEONE has to be the first to climb the route again to check the conditions, I'm just not exactly the most adventurous guy. Lol. It's enough for me to even hike out there to do the route in prime conditions. I don't enjoy the prospect of broken hangers and loose rocks falling on me or my partners head. |
