Comments: wow, i didn't think i was old enough for the old guy trick of just waiting to climb harder(i.e. no need to train, just wait for people to upgrade what you've done). agreed that this thing felt desperate and insecure, but that's what obsurity in the wasatch is all about.
just in case any other parties feel compelled to continue to the top, as we did when much younger and dumber, bring some hardware to leave. we found a single dead bush w/ a piece of crispy, white(not orignal color) webbing t... more >>

Comments: As of May of 06, Heidi(Dugout Ranch) would still prefer that climbers not climb on the front face of Resevoir. It sucks, but there are tons of walls down there, i don't think we really need to force the issue on this one.

Comments: Just talked to Heidi about Resevoir in May '06. She would prefer that people stay on the left side of the wall, basically out of view of the ranch.

Comments: The only way i could see it being harder is if you don't fit into the initial chimney. after leaving the deck, i can get a no hands rest anywhere up to the hand crack just by wedging my torso in there.

Comments: If you're going to hike all the way out there, you might as well check out the plane wreckage mentioned in the Ruckman guide. If you're standing at the base of Hogum's Heros, the pieces are about 150 yds down slope over your right shoulder. None of the pieces are too big these days, but still an interesting sight.

Comments: The descent gully is still pretty full of snow as of 7/23/06. Ari's recommended descent should be considered for a few more weeks.

Comments: There are anchors at the top to get down, but they are inconveniently located for top-roping. The anchor is 2 metolius rap hangers about 20' up and climbers right from the end of the technical difficulties. Probably best to bring the second up, then rap.

Comments: i don't think it really deserves an R. The guide book gives it one b/c before Old Reliable fell off, the opening sequence was 10' above a broken block landing. Now it's right off a nice flat gravel landing. The pro is less obvious than most LCC cracks, but you can get in a bomber piece every bodylength or so.
