West Face
About West Face:
The West Face is a beautiful, overhanging wall. You start 800' off the ground, so you are already far up there by the time you get started. The greatest thing is that it is only in the sun for the last FOUR hours of the day!!! Don't back clean the bolt ladder or it will be hard to clean quickly. When you lower out the bag off the first pitch, it is like 40' away from the wall. That's steep!! |
