Ascent Notes for: The Great Chasm, II 5.7 - 5.7 Average Rating : 4.25/5

John led P1, I led P2 (haha), Jean led P3.

Think I got gypped. It was super fun climbing though!

This one was fun, but it was fairly difficult to find do to the over growth. The 3rd pitch will have to be done next time because I was running out of time.
The new rap rings are nice and can be done with a 60 meter but don't over shoot the last rap station it is painted orange but is not in a direct line down.

Did not complete the 3rd pitch.

Had a great time. Took my friend up this for his first multipitch. Had bad beta on the decent however. What I found on another website was that you could get down with one rope. Well, we ended up with about 20' of downclimbing with a 60m rope.

As always, AWESOME! The summit register was flooded and the book was rotting so I replaced it. If someone climbs the route before fall '06 please take some large freezer bags (big enough to hold an 8.5X11 notebook) and some new pens and double-bag the book. I will try to get up and replace the canister before the snow falls.<P>There are over 50 recorded ascents of this route since I put it up in 2000. I have salvaged the history and will make photo copies and put back in the summit box. There are some great entries and it's a really cool history. Give yourself a little extra time on the summit to read the entries!
