----Only Party on Mountain | | Date: | Tuesday, March 7, 2017 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Motorized Transport to Trailhead: | Hi-Clearance Vehicle | | Peak: | Hollow Rock Peak | | Location: | USA-Nevada | | Elevation: | 5950 ft / 1813 m |
Ascent Trip Report2nd time for this one. This time from the east side. Generally non-stop scrambling once inside the canyon.
We used ropes to assist climbing 2 sections of the gully directly S of the summit, and then again at the summit block. Good climbers can handle all 3 parts without a rope, but it helped move the group safely and quickly.
On the way down, diverted to climb "The Facade", a 50-ft tall mound of sandstone about 400-ft SW of the Hollow Rock summit.
The circle is misplaced near the closed contour that our group called "The Façade". The Hollow Rock Pk is at the NE-most extension of my GPS track. |
