Henderson Ridge
reminds me of Shoe String Gully. It’s a place to go when no climbing
partner can be found. Both places offer a long approach, neither really
warrant roping up, but both offer enough exposure to bring a little
thrill to ones day if the conditions are a bit off.
The first 600
hundred feet is easy, textured, solid rock. The next 800 feet is a bit
of a scramble through an assortment of fourth and fifth class route
options. I crossed over North Gully at the first practical crossing just
above the “diving board”. Speed was not my focus, but I was able to
make the car to car loop in five hours which included a twenty minute
lunch and a little hustle. Overall a pleasant day out.
