Fairweather Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Trip: K's Spire - Fryingpan Glacier/SW Date: 7/6/2009 Trip Report: Drizzle and fog on Monday. Pope, his friend Rob, and I left the trail head at 5am. IFR from Summerland to Meany Crest and across the Fryingpan Glacier put us right at the base of Cornelius' mighty tower. Sleet, poor visibility, and a unanimous loss of interest at the base of the spire kept us from the tip top. Of course, the sun came out once we headed back down the Fryingpan. Fun trip anyway with great partners. Emmons teaser: That's the spire up there: North Face of Little Tahoma: Pope admires da mighty Emmons: Summerland Marmot Mocking Me: Gear Notes: Glacier gear and small rack to 2" Approach Notes: GPS and slop.

Fairweather Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 How do you know what rack to recommend if you didn't go the tippy top? Because I climbed it three years ago. To the tippy top even. You ok now? http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/581636/Searchpage/1/Main/43526/Words/k%27s+spire/Search/true/TR_K_s_Spire_7_08_06#Post581636 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
