If anyone wants to swing pitches in the North Chimney, or Kor Ingalls and then jump(and has a nice slave to rappel off with the gear haha) shoot me a PM. I could be there as early as tomorrow morning if you PM me soon enough, otherwise Wednesday.

 
Your going to make some one repel off and hike down that tallus carrying your shit?
Jump it down you pussy!

ive got a non jumper who wants to climb it too now so the gear slave is accounted for, all I need now is another jumper, and someone who will lead the hard pitches

 
ahh gearslaves. It is a nice feeling after a great climb followed by a perfect sunset jump. And then to sit down in the campground with a cold beer and watch the headlamp of your selfless gear slave zig-zagging his way down down down that giant talus.

wish I could come. gotta workl! stupid jobs.

You bitches. I flicked, stashed my gear and then hiked back up the talus to help hump the gear down. be good to your non-jumping buds!

The hard pitches on Kor-Ingalls???

ok fine, the harder pitches on kor. Ill climb 5.9 eldo grades no sweat, but don't climb in the desert much so my crack climbing isn't as good as it should be, and I dont wanna drive all the way out to the desert for a one day trip and not be able to make it up the route

just yankin yer chain man...I'd volunteer to meet you but a) I just found out about it right now and b) I have to actually EARN the mone y to get there and back first before I travel!
Good luck, have fun, be safe.
cheers,
pope


PS: There are a few BASE jumpers in Moab that you might be able to talk into it...?

ill pay for gas..........

 
Never done KI but the north chimney is a breaze. one of the nicest hand cracks around and kind of an awkward reach in above that lose block. Every thing else is a walk in the park. I think they call the crux 5.9 but honestly it isn't even that. Just make sure you have a comfy stash bag you can climb in... If you'd given me a bit of time could have built you one. Finest climbing stash bag around very comphy with good arm movement made just for that route, litterally.

And if you leave him more then two half ropes to hike down with then your a sadistic prick.

Im drooling.

Kor Ingalls is easy, mostly chimney-ing. Some grunty moves etc. . . Sorry I couldn't make it, but I'm with the others I gotsta work

And yeah, we'd have to hike up to meet the "slave". . .I couldn't watch a buddy hump the gear ALL the way (just most of the way)

Hmmm how much are we talkin?? I'd be interested!

Eldo 5.9 and Desert Tower 5.9 are two different grades.

If you think Kor-Ingalls is 5.9 enjoy the Calcite slime in the chimmney.

There are two kinds of 5.9. Yosemite grade 5.9 and Desert tower 5.9. Everything else is 5.8.

N. face is eaiser and cooler this time of year.

You do the KI you will cooked by the time you summit.

Have your friend rap the N. face NOT the KI route.

 
$75 and worth every penny.

I'm not the best judge of things but I'd say it's a weak 5.9. First pitch is a corner. First move off the ground is awkward. You think what am I getting into. Then it's a breaze. You'll hit a couple of paralel hand cracks where you'll have to jam your tows. Need shoes. i wont speek for any one else but I don't think I could do it in my boots, but then again I suck. Top of that crack is a small stance just below a sligt buldge. There s a pink rope comeing out of the eivl rope eating crack. Need a #6 BD stopper on a sling and I think I got a red fat cam in there. Crux is just above a lose triagular block inside the corner. I get my right hand in deep and kind of chimney up.
Then your at the ankor. Second pitch is a breaze. Third is the chimney. I think I got a yellow alien in the back before making the step out of the chimney. forth is a scramble up the second chim. fifth is just stepping over to the ankore of KI. Honestly it's like a 5.6 5.7 route and that's the first pitch. the rest is easier.
Pack light. The first pitch will feel run out. Save a couple of peaces for before and after that buldge. You can easily jump your gear down.

As to your friend I say static line his ass.
