Climbing Mt Index - Persis Index Traverse
Переглядів 2,8 тис.2 роки тому
One of the most recognizable peaks of the western Cascades, yet a peak notorious for steep, loose, and brushy climbing conditions. No route on this mountain is the "standard" way up, meaning getting to the top will be an exercise in route-finding, albeit a solitary one.

This cave was once a massive vein of marble, dissolved into a jagged and unpredictable network of caverns extending to astonishing depths below the surface. Still not fully explored, there may be even more to this cave than is currently known.
Discovering Garnets and Red Terraced Flowstone in Red Cave
Переглядів 4913 роки тому
As part of the Cave Ridge formation, Red Cave was created when a vein of marble dissolved. This left behind a jagged, narrow, and mostly vertical cavern that is home to a variety of minerals. Principally among them were quartz, flowstone, and garnets. The cave itself continues to grow over time. We also make a descent into a part of the cave that has never been officially documented.

A relatively small peak of the White Mountains, Boundary Peak only really sees a large volume of climbers thanks to its sub peak Boundary, which is the highest point in the state of Nevada. Nonetheless it is a fun scramble and easily done in a day.

A small mine with very little information remaining about its operations, this site was one of many attempts to mine the gold and silver of the high Nevada desert. Here terrain is mild, vegetation is sparse, and precipitation is rare. That all adds up to relatively low cost of operation, evidenced by the abundance of old mines throughout this area. This happens to be near the start point of Bou...

    I lived near index for about seven years in a cabin on the South Fork. Moved to Eastern WA in 2024.That was cool to see the route from Persis to Mt. Index. I hiked up to Persis three years ago by myself in 2022. I lost the trail twice and was pretty beat by the time I reached the top. Went again in 2023 at 60 years old. Persis is right up there at the top of my list as far as impressive views go. Thanks a lot for sharing your climb.

    Nice job documenting those two adits up there! I’ve been to this area several times over the last 15 years or so. Always found most of the mines there to be duds like you did. As you mentioned, the underground workings must’ve been somewhat significant based on the size of the waste rock piles outside both adits. I tried doing some research on those mines but was never able to find any old mining reports or anything like that which had descriptions of the underground workings, production amounts, and other related information. They seem to be a mystery and are, unfortunately, decaying into oblivion.

      Thanks! I wish there was more information on that area. It’s a bit out of the way from our usual mine explorations in the PNW but like you said I couldn’t find anything significant when I looked into it. I love your videos by the way! Your exploration of the victorine mine years ago was one of the things that first inspired us to start documenting the mining history in our corner of the country

  • @daviddavis2648
    @daviddavis2648 7 місяців тому

    A good tactic on this climb is to down climb the route which allows one to go very light since you don’t need to carry overnight gear over the summit. The climb is mostly 3rd and 4th class and we didn’t use a rope in either direction when I did it many years ago. From a bivy site near the base it took three hours to reach the summit and we’re back at Rainy Pass by about 6 pm. This wasn’t an original concept as other friends had used this same tactic in their ascents as well. Anyway I also know folks who had descended to the south, but it seems like an unnecessary complication, since it seems as if that route, while shorter is at least as difficult. I’d honestly be hard pressed to find much 5th class climbing on the NE buttress. That said, it’s a very nice outing in a lovely area.”
