Details
From the WA Climbers' Coalition:
There will be limited access to the Lower Town Wall on October 8 & 9.
Clearing work for the new vault toilet will begin. The first part of the trail will be widened (within the railroad right-of-way) into a short gravel road, which we need to install and service the toilet.
In addition-
Some trees deemed hazardous will be removed at the base of the Lower Town Wall, especially around the Great Northern Slab, the Sonic Reducer/Terminal Preppie ledge, and Rogers Corner. A hired arborist determined we have nine “hazard trees” many of which are dead or decaying, which we identified for removal in a Critical Areas Report to the County. To improve future safety at the Lower Town Wall, we want to remove these trees now, before we turn our property over to Washington State Parks.
All other areas at Index will not be affected.

Description
The traversing lower half of the crack can be climbed either high (by shuffling your feet along the crack using your hands for balance) or low (with your hands in the crack while smearing). The upper half of the climb is easier.
