Awesome, glad you got it! I'm planning on getting on the thing later next month, this really got me excited! From your pictures it looks like you can avoid the WI by staying on the ridge crest, is that an option?

Neither are really necessary, as you can descend off the south side via two 30m raps and a bit of loose down climbing, then traverse snow/scree to Asgard Pass. Good climb!

Nice! Where is Wedge Mountain and what kind of a rating did you give the route?

Great show, I liked Jed's helmet tip!

yeah, actually a cool looking ridge extends about 150 feet beyond this first tower.

nope, further west...

Any body know where this rock is?

Thanks for sharing CBS! Checked the area out Sunday evening, and I'm looking forward to going back.

Thats a big chockstone! Nice job, looks like stellar climbing!

Thanks DCramer. I've really enjoyed your guidebook. I'd actually hoped to do something other than Hexorsist on the north side, there are a couple of potential lines...

Its covered in "Sky Valley Rock". Anyone interested in checking out this route on Sunday? Or something else?

Just curious if any other climbers eschew the dominant political view of this fine sport. Wanna climb tonight....Anyone?

You know, I have this thread over in "Climbing Partners" that I'm sure will have its already slim chances of being answered absolutely crushed, but I'd rather stay home anyway . Are there any other "religious" climbers out there? Or at least any gun-toting capitalists?

Anybody up for climbing after work tonight? There is a very cool looking crack that leads almost directly above Lunch Ledge, but it bypasses the "traverse". But I'd also enjoy doing the traverse proper..... I'm staying up at snoqualmie pass tonight so I can't carpool, but I'll carry a festive beer up to the summit for you, and show you the quickest way back to the car

Looks fun, anyone have any other suggestions?

Tony, are you saying that Mike wrote that post back in March to discourage others from trying to climb the face just so he could have it for himself?

I am heading up to check out Mt Thompson this weekend, and would like to stumble up some other stuff while I'm up there. Any recomendation on climbs (to 5.7ish) or scrambles you have enjoyed (or wanted to do) in the area?

Sounds cool Bug!

Good pictures, I like the one of jumping across the big gap! Last time I climbed Forbidden I met Jim Nelson and SmilingWhiteKnuckles on top! But I think that would belong in the "Brush with Greatness" thread.

So Ivan, when are we going to hear about your Colchuck Balanced Rock epic?

Any one know the history of the photo on the back cover of the latest edition of Freedom of the Hills? I think its Sean Courage on Chair Peak, any idea what route? Thanks!

I think this route is actually pretty good. Short approach, quick descent, and two fun pitches. I would suggest climbing a fun 5.7ish crack below and too the right of lunch ledge, then doing the traverse pitch, or climbing a fun crack that goes straight up bypassing the traverse. Definatly worth checking out.

Did you go over the northridge notch from goats pass, or around the toe of the north ridge and up the icecliff proper?

$50, just used once. Awsome shoe, but too small.

You can lead a horse to water, but you cant make him Common, lets hear some stories
