Relive 'Gong Show'

Mammoth Trip, 2025

September 23

Gong Show



3.8 km and 109 m elevation gain in 7 hours total time.



The plan for today was was to climb up to the Gong Show off Rock Creek, then traverse right to North End Lower Tier, where I would do my first outdoor lead climb - a 33 m tall 5.6 named Sage Advice. Surely I can climb a 5.6 outdoors without falling off, right? I prepared my GPS to take us there. -F.
