Ascent Notes for: Triple Exposure - A1 Average Rating : 1.67/5

Asked around about clean aid lines to practice for an up comming trip to
Utah, was told about Tripple ex on one site... said to be a good outing
hahahahhahahahahahhhah The joke was on me....

I slung a large boulder at the base w/an extra rope for my bomb proof belay
and set off just like the SS Minnow on what I thought would be a three hour trip..

I topped out after 4+ hours of some of the most crappy rock/climbing I think Ive ever been on , the first belay as far as I was concerned was a
don't fall on this affair and the rest was pretty much the same deal.I was very thankful I brought some 3/4 angles to hand place on this route should have brought a hammer as well!


Euroford hit the nail on the head with this one....he was the smart one he bailed

I encountered an issue on the first pitch due to missing pins. I ended up using a clip stick to reach the farther fin, then aided up to the belay. Rope drag was terrible and our haul bag almost had to stay down. Very exposed. Love my rope.

we did the first pitch of this on aid and i took two falls while trying to get past the 'pink tricam' move mentioned in all route descriptions. that pink tricam pocket is completly warn out and its like trying to stick a tricam in the bottom of a shotglass. i couldn't get it to work so i resorted to two attempts at aliens that both resulted in pretty decent falls. eventually i did use a tricam higher up in the crack system after screwing around for ages.

weather was closing in and i was having enough of that so we rapped off. an intresting outing on an amazing feature with absolutly the worst rock quality i've ever encountered. actually, we were talking to a geologist giving a tour, and he told us its actually -not- even classified as rock, but just compacted sand....

i won't be going back, but if you live in this neck of the woods and want to train for the fishers, go for it! (and seek mental help)
