GPS coords for chasm view raps
|
Thinking about taking the raps on my first diamond outing and would like to be on the them a bit before sunrise. Anyone happen to have GPS coords that would make them easy to find in the dark? |

Anyone happen to have GPS coords that would make them easy to find in the dark?I don't have the coords, but I will say this....I thought rapping in sucked. You hike all that extra distance so that you can do the raps only to have to make your way across Broadway, which depending on the snow and conditions, can be unpleasant and potentially dangerous. I actually don't think it saves much (if any) time versus going up either N. Chimney or even Crack of Delight. Finding the raps in the dark will likely be hard if you don't know exactly where they are. Once you find them, you either have to reach around a corner or lower yourself onto them and they are totally hidden from almost any viewpoint. Yes, if you are afraid of heights, you will need an extra diaper the first time. Sorry if I'm not helping. Have fun. |

I agree with Mr. Albers: |

I'll ditto these guys. I guided up there for years and the least stressful way to do the day is R/T from the parking lot> Chasm> Mills Glacier> N. Chimney. |

I agree with everything Malcolm Daly said. |

there's a lone hiking boot up there now (as of today), very close to the raps. not exactly what you're looking for but something of a landmarker... |
