OK lets sum up so we can stop the bitching.... -Minimize shit left in the wilderness by making good decisions and picking up after others -People do strange things in the mountains -De-gumbifying one's self takes time... we've all been there -Cascade climber's forums are often bitch-fests (myself not excluded)

I second the motion, Kevbone your crap is not wanted here.

and that's why slab climbing makes me feel safer than vertical. You may lose some skin, but you probably won't break anything important.

cool climb! certainly cannot beat the ambiance of MRNP! biking down must have been a blast! -
Thanks for enlightening us Todd, but sorry you got involved :)I'd still climb with you guys anytime.

Todd, I know you did not personally rap the route, but WTF! he backed up the anchor with yet another piece of webbing! Honestly, I inspected all 3 pieces of webbing and would have personally taken whippers on any one of them. If I was smart and brought a knife up to the anchor I would have removed them all. A fourth piece is severely over-doing it. Anyway, you guys climbed with us in style and never sent anything down on us, so I really can't give you any crap. Keep climbing, and help minimize the garbage we leave in the wilderness.

Holy sweet baby Jesus! That almost gave me the shits I was laughing so hard! Truly Awesome! So that solves one mystery, but there is still one other to figure out... There is an anchor up there with 3 pieces of webbing! I know this because on the way up the pass I noticed there WAS a single strand of rope dangling down the cliff as an emergency rap. I found it to be god awful looking and decided if it was still there when we came back down two days later that I would retrieve it. Sure enough it was still there on the return so I scrambled up there to set it free. Turns out the rope had to have been up there for at least a year because the bottom half of the rope was buried under a massive amount of snow, so much that I could not excavate it. So its still up there piled up at the base of the cliff if any good Samaritan wants to bring it down and throw it away. It is sun-baked to shit and quite weather worn.

does anyone know why someone would be rapping down a 50 ft cliff in the lower section of asgard pass in the middle of 2 perfectly negotiable paths on either side? During my trip out there we saw a guy rappelling all by himself down this tiny bit of rock! WTF? Turns out there are rap anchors on top! its the small cliff right below the trees in the middle of the pass. this is a closer look at the cliff from the climber's left hand side. Thoughts?

Yikes! This is a perfect reason why doing the Conga in the mountains is a bad idea. What a mess! Glad to hear all are safe. -

catbird, for those who are only familiar with the descent routes down the 3 routes mentioned, would you kindly point us in the right direction for the CC rap route?

mountainsloth replied to telemarker's topic in Alpine Lakes
nice work. i was thinking of backbone as a follow-up to serpentine. How are the 5.9 pitches, esp. the o/w?
