ken 4 , and i did a traverse along the crest in june goin from the car at mtneer cr trhd, to sherpa pass, along the ridge east, down to the base of the south face of argo( clean golden rock with many route options-splitters), then traversing along the crest or the south side. then down to the basin beneath colchuck/dragontail, up and around to the east side and down the slopes leading to asgaard pass, and out via colchuck lake... 14 hours car2car with a mellow pace and time to chill in the amazingly beautiful scene. this crest from sherpa pass to argo is kinda more scambling than climbing with short sections of steeper stuff. there is much up and down climbing as well further along. also the summits of colchuck and dragontail from this side are pretty much walk-ups... starting from stuart, and continuing to prusik would be big... good luck-bp

well it seems this cc.com can be good for something sometimes, example: after a morning early afternoon spent running errands in seattle, i decided check this place out and did a little game of PM ping pong with a good buddy, we decided to get the fuck off the computer and work another day. we met at the marina and homeboy rolls up in the dopest ride on the streets, brand spankin new toyota sporto 'runner big pimpin' we sat around on the boat 4 a minute, got lit and decided goin for a drive/climbin granite somewhere was definatly in order, neither of us 4 some crazy reason had climbed nw corner on north early winters spire, and being @ index the day befor,so variety and spontinaity, won out over convienience, and familiarity. anyway it was 2 so we had to boogie. after the smoke cleared we were off the dreaded I-5, and rollin thru the skagit,ahhhh, then up and thru wonderful scenery, around emerald green lakes, under big peaks, etc etc, and up the final charge to wa pass, i love this road! definatly my favorite in the state,if not anywhere. with the pedal to the metal we made good time to blu lake th. the pass is sooo cool how you can leave the car and be in such amazingly beautiful terrain instantly. by the way the buggs are out, not in full force but there comin out, anyway we hit the trail, and cruzed to the n. spire. we noticed a couple other dudes 3 pitches up on the w. face rt. cool to watch folks bustin out moves up above, and this got us super jacked to get on the rock. the first pitch was familiar as its the same start for either route, and goes in on long pitch from the base to the big cozy ledge. from here the route was all new to both of us, yeehaw, climb around the corner immediatly left from the ledge and up fun flakes and cracks to a series of undercling traverses, the second providing one of the routes cruxes, fun stuff good and exposed on the corner of the spire, this pitch ends at the base of the big corner. the next pitch rocked! offwidthy, but with real good fists and burried right foot get you up to face moves and a section that eases. then cruze up back into the corner and climb a little steeper section, to end the buisness. then we climbed the last low angle bit right to the rap station where the dudes were just gettin ready to rap. jumped on with them and rapped with 2 ropes down to the snow in the gully. set another single rope off the chockstone and did the cool freehanging rap to the dirt. busted out our beers and offered our friends one, but they were declined..? o.k. so we sat around waxed on and on about how cool it was to be out of the city and sessioned till the sun started its descent behind cutthroat peak. the hike out was absolutly beautiful, the clouds and cold that were with us on the route broke apart to reveal crazy peaks and clouds all lit up in the spectacular light show goin on. we made it back to the super rig, and toasted again, and hit the road back to town. all in all it was awesome to get the fuck outta dodge and reconnect with a good climbing partner and friend. good times, fun route, great drive, thanx cc.com. -bp

vivache got me goin this monday morning for a little drive out to the sky valley to meet up with uncle tricky for some sunny granite. reiter road wound along till the little river spot had me pullin over in warm sunshine for a splash, hung around in the sun till trickster arrived, had a safety meetin and decided to find some action on the lower wall. rogers corner was perfect! doin breakfast of champions from the dirt makes a great warm-up of steep jammin' with an overhangin' splitter hands finale... sooo good!, then another lap for good measure, and were off on one of the better raps at index, steep freehanging fun. then another session beckond so we chilled and decided to bounce to the upper wall. we arived wet after our humid jungle hike and tried to wait for the sun to move off the wall, but being a little hyper i headed up 1st pitch of town crier, then tricky sent the sweet corner above clean and quick, then i headed up the 3rd pitch to the top of D/H. dicussed more safety issues, chilled out till the sun swept around and off we headed up sweet super exposed climbing, awesome stems, laybacks and jamming lead to a rad chimney with good wide stems to a little stance. then steep traversing to face cracks with the whole route falling away below,linking this with the last pitch makes for a long exposed pitch with cool juggy steep quartz face holds that climb past a bolt and occasional cracks to a thrilling mantel to top out. Davis Holland/ Lovin' arms is such a good way to climb 5/6 superquality pitches one on top of the other with high e! go get this... sooo nice!!! INDEX gotta love it!-bp p.s. its so cool how good partners keep it together when shit gets messed, ie: rappel hell- stuck ropes, disapearing gear, stuff that could turn a perfect day into drama, but instead just works out with "a little pa-tience, yeaaaahhh-ahhh" and doin what ya gotta do... thanks tricky, another great time climbing with ya'
-
thanx all! lookin like uncle tricky and i are off to index tomorrow,yeehaww, but i'm always up 4 whateva, weds/thurs wa pass!?! its sooooo nice out there right now!!! lets climb!!! -bp p.s. also lookin 4 folks interested in bigger alpine rockclimbs here and in b.c. i can score chunks of time, and am super motivated, so lets get that shit 'aight

all i can say is this: did the east butt again this weekend with jingleDell and this is such a perfect climb!!! i don't know if y'all have climbs that you just can't get enough of, but for me this climb has it all... rich history, dramatic position (especially your first time underneath it at the hairpin contemplating climbin it), direct approach through gully with nice step kickin in corn snow in early season, east facing so total sun if you do it in the morning, (which is wonderful @ almost 8000'). fun steep exposed climbing with lots of variety, 2 distinct free cruxes, one delicate the other steep pocket pulling over a bulge,( or pull thru easily french free) fun flakes, corners, face cracks, mantels,crazy views, easy off down the s.arete, and sweet glissading down to the car. go do this route!!! the sooner the better(when all the snow melts the aproach/descent is all talus-yuk) anyway like uncle tricky describes in his wonderfully crafted tr the climb can be done in 5 pitches with a tiny bit of easy simul-climbing. this route will your world!!! -bp p.s. thanx mr natural for taking me up this route back in the day! that was afun little epic.
