Tahquitz


   

Tahquitz Rock is a about 15 minutes north of Idyllwild, CA. On August 28th we climbed Sahara Terror. Sahara Terror is rated 5.7* and is labeled on the map as 26. Sahara Terror is seven pitches, approximately the same height as the Eiffel Tower or 900 feet. Here are a few pictures from our trip. The pictures are taking at the end of the fourth pitch which a had a nice ledge were we could sit. Most spots are too hairy to be messing with the camera.

Jarrod starting pitch five. Hoa will follow on the dangling rope when I get to the top.


 

Hoa flashing the end of pitch four. You can't see Mark, but he is about 140 feet below tied on to the end of the gray rope.


 

Mark looking back at Tahquitz thinking, "Man the rock doesn't look that big." Yeah right...
