Climbing Conditions

Climbed Takakkaw falls on Tuesday. Lots of small loose rocks on the ledges throughout the climb. Experienced some small rockfall on pitches 6 and 7 from a party rapping through the shale band on pitch 8. Would not recommend starting up these pitches if there is a party above you. Some seepage is found throughout the climb, especially on pitch 9, although all can be easily avoided and should not impact the climbing much. The alternate pitch 5 (closer to the falls) is quite wet and is not recommended. The tunnel itself is rather muddy. Expect any gear on your harness to collect quite a bit of mud as you move through the tunnel, best to pack it all away if possible.
