I took the opportunity on Sundays sun and went into 9 Corner. I brought almost all of my gear, harness, ropes, slings, biners, brushes and of course my shoes and chalk.
My thoughts were to anchor the tops of the cliffs, clean a route and perhaps send it as well as do some bouldering after. Things went as planned, however, I did not boulder.
There are dozens of routes on this set of cliffs, including large cracks and roofs. I cleaned a large crack on the right side of the cliffs top-down. I then threw on my shoes and chalk bag and headed on up. I sent it my first attempt and was pretty psyched.
The drive, hike in, cleaning and climbing only took about 3 hours. I feel very fortunate to have a great outdoor climbing spot like 9 to be so close to home.
My hopes is to keep cleaning these cliffs and put up more routes, so in the future there will be both top roping and bouldering in Caroga!
