telemarker Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) Trip: Leavenworth Snow Creek Wall - Hyperspace Date: 5/17/2014 Trip Report: Dr. Tom Michael, Mark Shaffer and I took our turn on Hyperspace on Snow Creek Wall. A very busy Snow Creek Wall. The wall, Outer Space in particular, was as busy as I've ever seen it. As we were rapping down, the upper headwall crack of O/S had a string of humanity slowly jamming its way up. We even had some traffic on Iconoclast, but it wasn't nearly as bad and we all moved along efficiently. Combined with Iconoclast (Psychopath, Yellow Wall), Hyperspace may be Washington's best multi-pitch crag offering of sustained cracks. Maybe I'm wrong. Just my very biased opinion. Anyway, attached below are a few shots from the day of the Pressure Chamber, and even a little "beta" video about how to climb it without doing the miserable overhanging squeeze chimney. Dr. Tom after the difficulties. Mark pulling through. It's a cramped belay stance for two, even more so with three. But it's nice to hang out an chat about the route, life, etc... Tom tackling the final little pitch to the top. Even this last pitch is fun. One of the better spring days so far this year. And no ticks were found or harmed in the making of this TR.

Woodcutter Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I don't remember it being that easy. I reckon the white-collar exit from the Pressure Chamber has seduced you to the dark side. You'll be trading credit-default-swops next. Nice vid, very fine exposure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
