New towers Hunter canyon
|
Looking for some info on a new tower I put a route on in Hunter canyon in the Kane springs area. mountainproject.com/v/hunte… There are two other towers in the area we put FA's on but when I got to the top of the third tower there was a small carin and about 30 feet of sun bleached webbing wrapped around part of the top with a knot a little bigger then a softball in it. |
|
Hoping to find out if it has a name or who climbed it first, I didn't see any obvious signs hat it had been climbed while I was looking for a way to get to the top, there is a 15 foot section towards the top that is either super blank or steep without a good crack system. It would be possible to access it from the rim of the canyon that is about a 20-30 foot gap with some trickery. |

Well done! Though not likely, I do hope you find the FAist. |

Well done? Maybe... they're bolt ladders. And, it sounds like someone else did one of them before without any fixed gear at all. They look fun though. |

The one with the Carin was on top was the Huntsman tower shown in the photo above. Like I said before I was super surprised when I got up on top to see the carin I need to get back up there and investigate a little closer to see how they might have topped out. |

There are some people who do not care to record their ascents, sometimes taking great steps to erase any signs of their passage. |
