Index
Index has a reputation for tough, steep climbing. Of the over 600 routes, only a few of them are below 5.10. Some of those few are quite excellent, however, and Index should not be overlooked by climbers of all abilities. The climbing season is nearly year-round, although the dark and wet months of December and January can be rather grim.
There is no camping at Index proper, although climbers sometimes stay overnight in the parking lot or along the river nearby. Forest Service campgrounds are located several miles on up the North Fork road, beyond the Index townsite.

ReplyI've been climbing for a few years and top rope 5.10 and can lead 5.8 or 5.9 sport. I have enough gear for us to climb. All you would need are shoes and a harness. A helmet would be a good idea too. I'm safe and pay attention. I ask you to do the same.

ReplyLooking for partners to climb during the weekdays. Prefer experienced people & alpine partners for the summer. Don't usually mind leading/teaching, but hoping to find a partner of similar experience/strength. I love climbing at Index.

ReplyI'm basically looking for a mentor; someone who climbs slightly better than I do that might be able to help me push my boundaries. Should lead 5.10+ and be available weekends for trips to 38, Vantage, etc. Bonus points for climbing at VW-R during week.
