Hell Hole Expedition


Syn

Recommended Posts

I have been searching through maps also to find this. And lo and behold Navdog gives all the info needed to do an expedition.

 

I am thinking about heading down there this week. Who is up for a weekday trek.

 

I know allot of people have to work and all but I am getting excited to get down there to see this.

 

Anyone up for a trip down to Eugene tomorrow?

 

Or I guess I could wait till this Saturday.

I know you young people think you are invincible, and maybe you are, but please reread the article:

 

"Even (for) experienced climbers or rappellers, I don't think this would be a good place for sport climbing," Long says. "It doesn't take very much to kill yourself down here."

 

Perhaps photos from the rim above would be most prudent.

Peanuthead is right. I would highly recommend anyone thinking of actually going down into the Hell Hole to view the Oregon Field Guide video first to know what you are getting into. Not that it is that difficult, but it looks like it is something that you are not going to just walk down into. No specialized climbing gear is necessary, but a safety rope looks essential, as there are no hand holds to grab onto. And I don't think I would go down into it without some type of safety helmet and the comfort of knowing you have health insurance. There is also a scramble down through a short rocky debris tunnel to get to the very bottom and the video showed them using another section of safety rope in this part too.
