Trip: Graybeard - North Face
Date: 5/6/2007
Trip Report:
Wild climb! It is also in great shape right now, though watch out for slides down the gullies. We got clocked numerous time by moderate ones. Also do it while there is a 15 foot tunnel bored through the summit cornice! A bit of a sand bag by the select book saying: snow and ice to 65 degrees. I am no inclineologist but seemed vert for a couple of steps. It is about as much fun as you can have in a day from Seattle or Portland in the case of my partner , Mike Layton.
Gear Notes:
Screws, pickets, some rock gear,pins
Approach Notes:
Not bad for postholing except on the way down. We took part of the Colin way out, Left and swam down the deeps
