Rock Climb - Narcolepsy Wall

CLIMBING 09/24/2025 NTD

On one of the first days of fall and the last of long evening sun, the club met at Narcolepsy wall for some enjoyable top roping. The most dangerous part of the evening was the approach to the anchors, which has a short, exposed slab to descend. Fortunately, Paul had beta on how to lower oneself from a central anchor to the various climb anchors.

The climbing ranged from fun 5.7 to thin 5.9+. Conversation turned to the ethics of keeping the bolts according to the first ascensionist, even though some of these routes are dangerously run out. We didn't have to think too much about that, though, as the top rope provided a safe way to simulate the Ruckmans' 1985 ascent.
