Climbed Lacy Gibbet yesterday in the south ghost. Beautiful climb in a
beautiful setting. The climb is fully in and a trail is in for the approach. 2
solid hours to get to the base of the first pitch. Dry but good ice on all the
pitches (despite its southern exposure), but the final Grade V pitch. This one
is wet with mushrooms, chandeliers and 13cm screws gave very little confidence.
Bring some longer screws for this pitch. 6 V-threads in place to get you down
with 2 60m ropes.
Drive into South Ghost pretty mellow other than a few rutted areas that could
be tricky with a low clearance vehicle.
