Truckin' got my chips cashed in, keep truckin', like the do-dah man
Together, more or less in line, just keep truckin' on
Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me,
Other times I can barely see
Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip it's been
Noddle Heads, South a lowly 8260 elevation
The road in...and conveniences
Power
Truckin'
Magic Mushroom for Deadheads
Speaking of deadheads I should be about 5000 feet higher but upper respiratory ailments and ear infections the last three weeks have deadened my head. When you want to get high it helps somewhat to get somewhere
The warm temperatures have set in...so a soak is in order
Gearing up for the 5.2 climb, the pitch behind Scott up to the ledge is some Class 3 scrambling
Most of the cats that you meet on the streets speak of true love,
Most of the time they're sittin' and cryin' at home
Love the mountains of most any kind
Decided the better part of valor is to be prepared
The ledge
Once at the ledge crawl up on it and scoot under the overhang onto somewhat exposed ramp like rock, the rock slopes off the west side where it goes fairly vertical
I borrowed a kbaker picture that shows the 5.2 section and crack, as you can see some don't need a rope on this climb, we used one so I could get in some work
I led the way and am looking down to the fairly level spot where Scott is standing
The lower part of South and a soaker pool
Noddle Heads, North (unranked but a 5.7)
I took a look down at the route below where you get to the ledge, you can rap over this way too but not as good on the rope
Scott, The Marlboro Man, on top
Long Scraggy
Ammo box register
We added another sling to two that were there just for the next 3 or 4 people to make it up there this year and started the rap
more
Rock towards the bottom of the Class 3
You can go through here if you like
one last look before we leave All a friend can say is "Ain't it a shame?"
Truckin', I'm a goin' home Whoa whoa baby, back where I belong
Back home, sit down and patch my bones, and get back truckin' on
followed the trail and then the road out whereas we cut a bit of the road off on the way in
5.4 miles and 900 feet
My GPS Tracks on Google Maps (made from a .GPX file upload):
I had Noddle on my list for a little while as I only had two ranked Douglas County peaks left, Big Rock Candy Mountain being the other 5.7-5.9? Nice little climb with some exposure but solid rock
There is only 6 or so people a year on the register that is there now
I may get the Candy at some point. I have talked to the young guy I have hiked a lot with (who will remain nameless, is a prolific climber and on 14ers.com)about it and maybe one of these days try to nab that
