Location: WA : Index Town Walls : Lower Wall : Great Northern Slab : Libra Crack (5.10-) By: Tom Bath When: 32 minutes ago | view comment >> | Comments: Definitely a sandbag. It helps to be tall. Stemming as high as possible at the start will allow you to get your hands past some of the tight jams.

Location: WA : Index Town Walls : Lower Wall : Winkie Dinkie Cliff : Timberjack (5.8) By: ChrisJoosse When: Nov 9, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: When I did this route, the anchors had a cordolette left in place that someone had used to rap off- if I'd had a quicklink or a rap ring I'd have donated it to the cause, but wasn't prepared at the time.
If I'd had a wider piece than a #3 C4, I'd have used it at the top where the crack goes from fistjam to off-width.

Location: WA : Index Town Walls : Lower Wall : The Country By: Drewsky When: Oct 30, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: ROCKFALL HAS OCCURRED FAIRLY RECENTLY AT THE COUNTRY!!!
Within the past 2 years, somewhat significant rockfall has affected the Country area. A large block landed about 100 feet from the wall next to the trail. Another block landed precisely where the belayer would typically stand for Zoom. More blocks fell into the creek area behind Zoom.
USE CAUTION AND CONSIDER WEARING A HELMET WHILE CLIMBING IN THIS AREA!!!

Location: WA : Index Town Walls : Lower Wall : Main Wall : Model Worker (5.11c) By: Eric Hirst When: Sep 28, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: A #2 Camp Ball nut (Lowe Ball) really helps above the last bolt on the upper section, especially if the seep up there is seeping.
The upper section feels quite a bit easier to me (11a?) than the lower section, although maybe my slab skills haven't kept up. The rock quality on the final moves feels a little spooky to me though. I've finished straight up (R of the bush) both times I've done this.
