Mr. Henderson



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.
