Say Goodbye to the South Route on Mt Adams!!!
corvallisclimb replied to dmuja's topic in Access Issues
better have that night club at 11,000 ft -
yeah i cant imagine being half way up the bolt ladder then bailing, and coming back the same day
-
i did the pioneer route a few weeks ago... the bolts are huge 1/2 inch or somethin... but i did notice one or two that i felt suspect of some movement but wasnt quite sure if it was because it was like 6am and i was fuckin tired and cold or what. who knows, that woulda been quite the shock on a route like that. would have been interesting if first ascent had a group out there and saw there leader take a whippper on the bolt ladder

oh okay thanks for the picture. now i know, for some reason that was in the back of my head, but wasnt to sure. what are the routes like there, or is that the only one?
-
where in oregon is this? i have never heard of this area
-
for half the oregon peaks, it says "well heres the standard route but if your crazy enough to try anything else please refer to oregon high" in the preface to mt washington it also basically tells you to go to smith rock instead for rock climbing instead of trying other tech rock routes up washington

Climb: Eldorado Peak-East Ridge Date of Climb: 7/31/2004 Trip Report: So here is my trip report from Eldorado feat. Nolse, Pandora and Illini. We left PDX about 6pm on Friday and headed up north snagging Pandora along the way pulling her further away from Rainer but she cant resist an outing with Nolse so... Got the the trail head at about 12:30pm after almost hitting a drunk guy whom had pissed himself in the middle of HW 20! We all passed out and awoke to finally head out around 9. The approach was good until we broke out of the trees and the heat kicked in wich really took the life out of me, so we wernt crusin NOLSe style but non the less we go to the bivy around 4:30 right at the bottom of the east ridge. We decided to go for the summit at about 5:30 pm topping out just about 6:15 hung out there for a bit and slid on down. All in all I had a great trip except for the heat and my feet. It was a very mellow climb not technical, but a perfect first trip for me into the northern cascades. Cool group of people it was my first time out with them. I know John and Jason both tryed to capture some mountain porn but not the digitial way, so expect some more photos soon. Gear Notes: Ice axe, glacier gear. We never used our crampons. Approach Notes: long

nicee, yeah he was awsome. always interested in my ventures even didnt mark me absent a couple times when i skipped to go climbing, and always wanted to see my pictures and what not. anything else you remember? they are tearing it down next year and building a new school wich they have already started there is no more pool, parking lot or football stadium due to the construction. -

hmm couple of reasons, wearing low cut tennis shoes and hiking up through the scree slope making the approach seem more direct, and the descent through the scree slope with them on makes glisading (sp?) possible on rock. i took a nols course and i got attached to them. -

its close to but not exactly the real high rock, wich now has just become over run with partyin fratboys, trash and more trash. When we drove by high rock there where about 40 cars there, btw did you know the acctuall rock it self split in half and a huge peice fell off? What high school did you go to? -
Climb: Three Fingered Jack-normal shiznit Date of Climb: 7/23/2004 Trip Report: I was inspired by criznitch's tr to do the same thing, so I snagged a partner and left. It had been a while since I climbed it so it was nice to be back. We stared out at the cedar shack in Sweet Home on Thursday at about 8:00pm we arrived at the trail head and hiked in till it got to dark and set up a camp waiting for a tree to fall on us. The hike in was very pleasent, walking through the fire is interesting. The first two pictures where taken during the hike in, the next was the next morning. We woke at sunrise and basically started moving right away, the misquitos came out in full force and basically drove us away. It was nice since it was cooler than it would be on the hike out. We stumbled accross the some of the plane wreckage and had to copy every one and go for the photo op, on the way back down we found one of the seats still there in the trees. The climb it self was good, someone placed a new LA at the "crux" of the crawl, as well as some new webbing scatterd around the summit area. It was really windy but perfectly clear, so it never got to hot until the hike out. All in all great day, very dusty though, I got really fuckin dirty, sooo we stopped at a favorite swimming spot on the South Santiam to jump off some rocks. flying Gear Notes: 1 nut Approach Notes: fine
