We did the first two or three pitches last year before turning around due to rain. Most of the bolts seemed pretty crappy....and I don't remember seeing any new bolts. I haven't been back to look yet this year. Let me know what you find out because my partner has been talking about replacing some of those bolts. There are some new bolts on the 2nd pitch of Dana's Arch. As many as 5 or 6...

I used to come to this site to look at TR's and pics....I really didn't want to become one of you spray masters...well as it turns out, you're not all idiots. I lost a harness at WA pass last week and a CC'er found it, posted it here and put it in the mail for me. My partner got hurt and I lost the harness in the confusion.... Many thanks to Time2go...and the rest of you non-idiot climbers for all of the great beta over the years!!

I was up there earlier in the week...and now I can't find my Yates Sheild...size Lrg. If you've got it...I've got a reward!!! Thx

Speaking of Peter Croft and his solo of the Enchantments....has anyone repeated his traverse lately???

Just wondering if I can get on the North Ridge (or Complete North Ridge...either one) with out poons. Any thoughts????? THX

I hate this web site...yet I can't seem to stay away. I forgot my password and the temp password they sent me was Mr. Crap!!! Such is life. I've never posted and I'd like to give it a go....I should have good contributions to make in the near future. I've climbed D'tail three times and each time I've looked at the NE Butt of Colchuck thinking that it was an awesome line....and it is...except for massive amounts of lichen and loose rock. The first pitch is almost as stellar as the top out. The rest of the route isn't the best that the cascades has to offer...but worth doing if you're in the area......and bored. Getting on to the Colchuck glacier for the slide down was a snap....if you find a treking pole I'd like to know.

As far as where to stay....You should stay at the Tenaway parking lot. As far as pro near the top....no problem if you can climb 5.6. I did the route a couple of years ago with an weak partner and two packs of cigarettes...we did it unroped in 14 hours car to car. Route finding....hit the W Ridge and go up and right...watch for goats and Mountaineers!!!!
