Beg Borrow or Steal... Single Point Hammock 20-Jan-2014 At 5:27:47 PM dave h.

I was last there in early 2012, I think. I recall there being bolts on both walls. I know that both times I've been on Ozy we set up a hammock using one anchor on each wall. Having tried the ground and the hammock, the (2 point) hammock was far superior.

There is enough space on the ground to sleep two tallish guys. The way we did it was to lie back on a sloped rock, IE both of us facing the South Buttress. So our legs were pointing downhill (the direction of the slope) and our back towards the North Wall. You will gradually slip down the slope during the night until your daisy chain comes tight. I suggest you make sure you like your harness before attempting this (I wore the new Calidris, and I was fine; my buddy had the then-current WC Syncro and had sore hops for a while, although doubtless the aid-leading and masses of gear contributed to that).

Good luck and be safe. It's a great adventure and February's a good time to do it.
