We were putting screws in all day. I dont understand why there wasnt a line of people up there?

Great Photos and trip Guys!

Nice route none-the less!

We saw it there, a person could do the regular start and go down 10' to the block that it is placed in. I dont usually grab gear that looks suspect. I did clean a nice camalot from higher on the route that could find it owner?

Trip: - NY Gully - Beware of Ice Date: 2/15/2009 Trip Report: My second foray to the North side of Snoqualamie Mountain (first) again showed how it is precariously coated with Ice. We found conditions to be both icy and slippery. We decided to try and make these routes a bit safer by using special tools to chip away some of the collections of this dangerous sheen. We found a large ice streak flowing down the normally dry New York Gully route . We did a new direct start to the route, removing some of its thin coating. The rest of the "Mixed Climb" was a mixture of snice and water ice, the most dangerous kind. Be careful if you find yourself up there. We saw Alpine Dave and friend-Dan up there taking care of the other frozen streak to the left. Markos camera may reveal this insidiousness soon

Isnt that a personal question?

Wow looks cool, Who knows this year? there is ice everywhere!!!

Damn Snowmobilers..> Just kidding. This is sad, what kind of freaks would do that?

The original vidoe was blocked, but it seems the jist of it was---here is a spoiled-hollywood-junkie-who-will-soon-die?

Oh the ease of youth! Well an old fart like me thought the route was a bit tough(er)(ish)? Monkey man has a great future and recent past- for this kind of stuff! Very thrilling to think is was a new variation, but I swore I may have seen a pin scar in the chimney? I didnt get the best look at it though. Jeez.This will go down as one of the all-time alpine ice years. The normally dry -NYGully is a near "all-ice" climb right now! If it were normal economic times(?)- there would be lines on many of the great routes and many new routes put up as well! Hats off to everyones efforts ,climbing, and non-climbing efforts.

Thanks, That ice ribbon was so sweet!

Wasnt that my suggestion after our last car epic?

Defnly NOT that route. Maybe something left on the Reid Headwall?---if still cold out

Nice tick Dudes!

A guy named Powderhound uses Slow shoes< HA!!

Thanks for posting these pictures guys: Look at those eyes, That is the kind of person that you want to rope up with.

Yes that was Don and another friend, Marty after they led dozens of people over Asgard and out of harms way .

It sounds like we did different cruxes, I suspect they were to our left. I may have seen evidence that someone had put in pins our way before us? We did the 4th or 5th ascent possibly. BTW, Anyone lose a camalot on the right hand finish of NYGully?

Go Get It!

Nice job, guys. Alpine Monkey and I just did the route today. It was fat and awesome. Rocking good time in the mountains!!

Don was a solid guy, Heck sorry to hear this news

I remember doing a track with a Josh K recently. We were very happy that it was about to snow and cover up our own disastrous track!!!!LOL!

I may take the ortho. I dont know anything about them though, Wayne

Obstructicans are in the throes of political death on this one. Unfortunately they will probably not pass it soon

And..After you get up there, run a garden hose over the edge !
