Z-Man Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Who here was at Hyalite New Year's Eve? Someone brushed off our plates to check that we were from WA so figured it was one of yous. Quote
Z-Man Posted January 16, 2008 Author Posted January 16, 2008 You were definitely high on the list of suspects John, teach us to get such an early start. What did you guys do on New Year's day when they gated Hyalite canyon? Quote
John Frieh Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 New Year's Day was actually "drive home day" so we timed it perfectly Sorry about the spray... couldnt help myself Where is your TR Z-man? Quote
Z-Man Posted January 18, 2008 Author Posted January 18, 2008 You gave me a good laugh at the end of a tiring day John. It was almost a shame we had to wipe it clean so we could see out the rear window, wanted to keep it to see what the locals would make of it. We didn't climb anything of note, I was just wondering who the artist was. Maybe I'll see you there next year. Quote
John Frieh Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 You can see me this year if you plan a trip to Cody! Seriously... this is thee year to make a trip to Cody... so many routes are in (some of them unclimbed)... powderhound snagged an FA last weekend... Quote
powderhound Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 (edited) You can see me this year if you plan a trip to Cody! Seriously... this is thee year to make a trip to Cody... so many routes are in (some of them unclimbed)... powderhound snagged an FA last weekend... About time I posted this: Right before I started my graduate school I was blessed to with my first FA in Cody, WY. Gift of Time WI5 85m This route is located on the face lookers right of the Main Vein Drainage about 800 feet up and a 1000 feet over lookers right on a large ledge. Approach: Climb Main Vein, head up drainage 800 or so feet to the second big ledge on climbers left. traverse around the front for a 1000 feet or so until you come to the climb. Watch out for avy pockets, we let one slid and it is several thousand feet to the bottom. Starting the Traverse The route in the background: two pitchs Sam M. on a stout and impressive lead Me Following the first pitch the second pitch was a 45m WI3+ and by that point we figured we were less then a half an hour hike to the top of the ridge. Maybe 3500 vertical feet gain over the day from car to car. We go to the top of the Main Vein headwall pitch just as it was time to turn on the headlamps. Edited February 6, 2008 by powderhound Quote
John Frieh Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Nice work Bryan. Amazing stuff! Bozeman: 12 hours give or take Cody: 3 - 3.5 from Bozeman. I'll be in Cody for Prez day weekend... anybody else? Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 I hope you boys respected the Wyoming speed limits. Nice job. Looks like a bit of a stiff start on that first pitch. Quote
kevino Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 I'll be in Cody for Prez day weekend... anybody else? How much do you think the warm weather will affect the ice out there? Both bozeman and cody are suppose to be in the upper 30s to lowers 40s all next weekk. Quote
powderhound Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 bring your rock shoes just in case and enjoy the three types of rock that are in cody. Limestone, Granite, and Dolomite. Super fun stuff. Quote
