As long as the climber is comfortable throughout the variety of terrains on that route. It has a little of everything, ,except thinner cracks maybe. It is one of the easier towers, that doesnt say much though.I think the grade is fair. Would have to be a very stoked Newb. i shot an overexposed video. So many parties get up it, crowding is an issue.

Like it , good work.

sick shots Pat.

Cool report, thanks Doug.

looks like a fun time! hell of a place to tour.

Nice vacation!

very. as soon as you pull the last crux, they are around the corner. they were a little covered in rime

Yes, Not as In as RDog. Hope you get a window, the winter is crazy.

95/5. Ice where you need it only. you are seeing ice in the gully of the pictures. the rest is feathers right now. It should start consolidating soon though. I hear you and lazer are going for it?

Trip: Illumination Rock, Rime Dog - Date: 4/7/2012 Trip Report: Faced with a 1 day weather window, and deep snow in the mountains, Beau ( his tr ) and I headed for the friendly alpine playground of Illumination Rock. We did the most reliable and fun route on the sunny South Face of the I-Rock, It is a route I named after my girlfriends late pet: Rime, a Scottish Deerhound. I had done the route a couple of times before, it is worth repeating for sure. It offers 4 short pitches of outstanding easy mixed climbing at a moderate angle. It also now has a rap anchor at the finish that gets you most of the way down to the South Chamber with a single rope rappel. We had a blast!

Nice, but why rock paper sissor with Redman right there?

Now available online, and yes my "rule breaking" led to all of those children dying. OPB_Mt Hood

Looks good, been wondering when we would see some pixels. Thanks Tim

Could be something Yoder would exploit. Ask him on fbook. I saw some decent rock, we need a gondola up there. The mixed potential is out of this state type good. Washington's Hyalite.

Thanks, Make sure you do Unforgiven along the way, so fun

No, just saw it in the book. Looks cool. Next time for sure, thanks

Trip: Smithereens 4 classics - Date: 3/9/2012 Trip Report: So nice to return to my homeland to catch a wed-sat window of 70 degree temps, ahhh. Nobody was there mid-week so my stories of prana-top heaven to my 1st visit partner, didnt hold true, The raving about the routes did however, as we bagged 20+ pitches with 4 multi-pitch classics bagged. Warming up on Zebra Zion? Maybe in mid season, that 1st lead is a grind! We did enjoy Sky Ridge, Wherever I Roam/Unforgiven, and rounded it out with Monkey Face. After a great ice season, I am stoked to bring on the rock! More on blog of course.

Nice Radek, what an experience!
