Summary
Blondie assist belaying at the base of Windfall Wall (July 2007).
In July of 2007, we met up with our friends Haydar and Henry for a day of mid-summer climbing in Smith (all other places were rainy!). We hiked over to the east side columns for some routes on the Windfall Wall. This is the full sized basalt wall visible across the river directly from the class 2+ descent into the Lower Gorge. We climbed Midnight Creeper (5.8), Lama Momma (5.10b) and Baby Walks(5.10a). Decent routes but can’t really recall very much about any of them.
