  1. Nice one! :brew:

     

    I did this route last year and found the raps to be less than obvious. Luckily we had some nice shiny webbing to leave behind. The rock is not as clean as the rest of Ingalls, but its still a nice little romp as well. Not having to scramble up the rock gully must have been nice :)

  2. Nice! :brew:

     

    I was on the opposite side of the valley all weekend looking up there wondering when the enchantments would be in good shape. Way to get after it!

     

    I have not done that approach, but having come down from Toketie wall last year, I am not sure how much I would want to do that approach either. Sounds like coming around from Prusik might be the easiest (however far longer).

  3.  

    Here are a few of the easier ones we did last year. Stately pleasure dome has no approach and has several easy routes, Teneya peak is really easy the whole way and not very exposed and its really not 14 real pitches (the approach is a little steeper as is the descent), Pywiak and Dozier also easy approaches.

     

    Great White Book, Stately Pleasure Dome, 5.6 R, 5 pitches

    Northwest Buttress, Teneya Peak, 5.5, 14 pitches

    West Country, Stately Pleasure Dome, 5.7, 4 pitches

    Zee Tree, Pywiak Dome, 5.7, 6 pitches

    Holdless Horror, Dozier Dome, 5.6, 4 pitches

     

    I hope you get some nice weather!

     

  4. Love Skaha as long as you are down for sport climbing (not much trad).

     

    The only real issue there is the camping situation: either set up / take down every day camping up logging roads, or pay for over priced campgrounds in town.

     

    On the positive side, the sport climbing is really fun (albeit overbolted), approaches are short, and there is an awesome bakery for a nice morning cinnamon roll!

     

    Have a great time, I am planning on making a couple of trips this year as well.

  5. As of last weekend, the slide is still about ~800 feet long, 1' deep at the start, and maybe 8' at the end. The stream was flowing over the top, and the trees/boulders that are near the end are impressively large. I ran into Jens and Sol and they heard rumor of it opening at the end of May, just a rumor though...
