Trip: Hyalite Canyon - Respnsible Family Men 60m WI5
Date: 11/29/2008
Trip Report:
Two years ago I hiked out to Responsible feeling pretty dialed and subsequently failed to send, and left feeling dejected. This winter is my last as a student and my last being a resident of Bozeman, America and as such I have a few routes that I need to check off in Bozeman and Cody before I leave.
On Saturday, Pete Redman and Josh Gage and I headed out to the Dribbles Area with the intent of climbing Responsible Family Men. This was going to be my 9th day on the tools this year and I was just twitching with the possibility of climbing some sick steep ice and I had a bit of some revenge to enact.
We approached via the avy gulch and traversed over two bowls to reach the Responsible gully.
Climbed the lookers left side start to the ice.
The approach up avalanche gulch.
