Yes, even an Impala can do it

A view of the main summit from the south summit. Note the climbers on the horn pitch in the lower-left part of the photograph. Taken during the "Ship Rock 30th anniversary ascent" in 1969, just before the closure.

Friction Traverse, October 1979

This is the left side of the Black Bowl. We basically soloed this entire section all the way to the Sierra col. The reason for the rope in the photograph is I was too lazy to untie, so Bill and I simul-soled. I would say this is the steepest section that does NOT warrant a rope except for the last 20 feet to the Sierra col.

The "classic" traverse pitch. Ben is on route. There are additional pins/drives above him that lead off route.

Ship Rock register inside cover and page 1. April 2010. This register was placed in 1962 and entries from the original register were copied into this 1962 version.

He had two ropes on him. The thing on the right is some kind of wire that was strung up and down the couloir for hundreds of feet.<br>
