If you head up to WA Pass, head a little further east and check out Flyboys on Goat Wall in Mazama, 18-pitch 5.9 sport route, well protected.

I climbed this in September last year, took us about 6-7 hours to climb and we did the walk off the top (shuttled a car up in the morning). It's a thoroughly enjoyable climb and one I wouldn't mind repeating this spring!

benmurphy replied to Ryan Hoover's topic in North Cascades
Awesome job boys, looks like fun times haha! -
I was out there two weekends ago and there were trees down over the road to exfo, shortly after the bridge, planning to go back out this coming weekend with a chainsaw.

I accidentally ordered a large from our pro deal site and have subsequently ordered a medium but there is a no return policy, so I'm selling the large for $250 (what I paid for it with shipping). Never been worn. I live in Everett but would consider meeting or mailing. Let me know if you're interested. Cheers!

Thanks guys for all the work on an awesome route! We were one of 3 parties that summited yesterday (10/4). Given the shorter days we reached the summit just before sunset and had fun rapping down with headlamps! -

Strong work! That last picture doesn't look like it was taken from Paradise -
Trip: Darrington - 3 O'Clock Rock - Silent Running Date: 1/25/2015 Trip Report: Hard to believe this route is in in January! Road is in good shape to trailhead. There are 3 large downed trees currently blocking the trail. No snow above the route. Also, no snow on exfo dome currently. The route was wet in places but climbable. Great day out! Gear Notes: 10 draws and gear to 2" Approach Notes: Pretty good shape for January

first ascent [TR] Vesper Peak - The Ragged Edge 8/18/2013
benmurphy replied to dberdinka's topic in North Cascades
Some friends and I climbed this route this past weekend...great position, stunning views, and fun climbing abound! Just remember to bring lots of beer and whiskey! Random pics from the climb... -
Stream crossing isn't bad, crampons were nice to have...here's a couple pics of the area/route on approach to Torment.
-
nice! that's a great route!
-
just looking back at pics I have of that area before the rockfall...looks like a little exfoliation going on. total soul should be fine, as most of the rockfall would have ended up in the gully separating it from silent running.
-
damn, a friend and I climbed silent running on May 31 and this hadn't happened yet...would not have wanted to be on route for that!

Well done guys, looks like an awesome adventure! -
Got home from E38 last night and found an extra guidebook in my pack, one of us must have picked it up by accident. Has a word written on inside cover in pencil. Let me know if its yours and I'll get it back to you.
