Anybody done or have any info on any of the very-lesser-travelled WA Pass routes like The Snout, State Crag, Constitution Crag, M&M Wall, Point 7002, Point 7046?? All around III/IV 5.8/5.9. Are they unrepeated for a reason, i.e. shit rock and bush??

Could you post a link to that? .

Way to perservere even when ya get bailed on! "The whole mountain might be a good place to develop a mutipitch sport route. Got 600 bolts?" Get the drill

The truth comes out! He told me he turned around because it was too hot.... no mention of a forgotten water bottle. You have to keep an eye on those donkeys!

Paul if yer goin with you know who, makes sure he brings his waterbottle this time

Check out these Plenty durable, they got em at Coast Mtn. They got the 'Dru' sole too Climbs well.

Yes, I have/use them. They are distressingly thin, but if you can take the fear factor that any sharp edge will kill them, they're remarkably versatile. At 35 g/m they are about the same weight as ONE 10.5. Ya just gotta be careful with em. I would rather go for an 8 mil setup. Millet makes a cool 8.1 twin setup (though they term it a half rope I use it as a twin) as does of course the venerable Blue Water jobs.

I drove this road this time last year and got to within one hour (skiing) of the ridge. Easy access to Gari. Good luck on Atwell

5 stars for tilt

Uh I dunno, maybe Most faces are between 2000-2500 feet, but because they face east don't really accumulate sufficient ice

Climbed the right side of this face yesterday with Steve Harng: Snow to 45*. Nice line, has already been skiied. Some of you may have visited the other side of this peak on the Place Glacier where there is awesome skiing. The potential for large, hard alpine routes in this area is large. Bivy is ONE hour from the car, but timing is essential: TRied to go in with Doolittle in March and there was 5ft powder snow. Went in this weekend and everything was melted out and avalanching. Some other lines in the cirque:

At last someone is beginning to tap the potential for these types of routes in the Tenaya area. I think, from my meagre observations, that there is a lot more of this sort of thing in the "upper" valley
