I climbed this as a kid in 1996. We did the rock crevice which was supposed to be closed. I was only 9 and following my older male cousins. Had no idea how dangerous.
@SlonesWildernessExpeditions 2 күн бұрын
I climbed it originally in 1995. The Chimney Tops were always open to the public, until the fire of 2016, which destabilized the ground & rocks. Though I'm sure there have always been sections of it that were supposed to be closed to the public.

We considered canceling the U.P. and going somewhere else because of the weather, but it turned out the U.P. had the least amount of rain that week, so it all worked out! Since we only had our day packs, the 11+ mile hike wasn't bad. I didn't realize just how "wild" the U.P. is!
