My good buddy MK and I set out for the largest wall around: the East Face of Slickrock. Located in the Lick Creek Range of the Salmon River Mountains, Slickrock is a solid shield of white granite rising well over 1000 feet base to top. Our route, The Memorial, is a pleasant 10 pitch romp up blank slabs with bolts where you need them to keep the runouts fairly short.
|
Sun just touches the top of the wall at around 9am |
|
Second pitch, MK encounters the first of the holdless slabs. |
|
Nearing the top, MK belays 200' below. |
|
View to the North L to R: Snowslide Peak 8522', Sawtooth Peak 8875' and Fitsum Peak 8583' |
|
Walking off after a quick rountrip. |
