  1. Everything is fat at vantage, frenchmans os nearly fully formed. Stopped in on the way back from cody and cruised up fuggs which is in great condition
  2. plenty of stuff in stehekin, i was just climbing it two days ago. rainbow falls isnt in shape yet...
  3. went for a quick jaunt up to dragontail to have a go at triple couloirs. the snow is great for skiing, not so much for climbing. we wallowed for a bit then decided our time was better wasted skiing. but theres lots of ice up around colchuck, a few pitches at least for whoevers desperate

  11. Hey Climbing Community, I will be having a slideshow at LMS on Friday Sept 30 starting at 7:30 PM. $2 donation for beers and hotdogs. Last April and May myself and 4 other hombres set sail from Bellingham and headed up to climb Mount Waddington, doing the 50+ mile approach on foot and by skis. We encountered all sorts of challenges and some badass climbing along the way. Come on down and hear all about it and see some sweet pictures, if nothing else come support your local climbers and drink some beer! Cheers, Adam
  12. Trip: snow creek wall - Hyperspace Date: 8/23/2011 Trip Report: Peakpimp and myself headed out yesterday and climbed hyperspace. This is a climb that has been on my mind for quite some time, ever since my first time up outerspace way back in the day when i started climbing. This is more of a conditions update than anything, so i'll keep it short. We did the psycopath variation which was fabulous, i'd go back to climb that any day. The next pitch was a beautiful hand crack through a rough, Josh did a stellar job leading that and belaying me from a hole behind a block. The next pitch gives you the option of a dirty corner or 5.11 face climbing. take the face climbing for sure. its super fun and has plenty of jugs, and that corner is super dirty right now. Josh took the next pitch up a cool chimney thing and then i took the pressure chamber pitch. It was absolutely amazing and quite physical. The reason for this TR is right above the pressure chamber. About 15 feet after exiting the pressure chamber, you traverse out left, with your feet in a huge horizontal crack. There is a large flake, about 3 feet by 2 feet right here. That bitch is quite loose and ready to go at a touch. Be warned, I was terrified of that flake, I would not yard on it too hard. With a 70 m rope its totally reasonable to climb past it and pull the small roof above and left, build an anchor above that and belay your partner up. Take that high option or build a belay way lower, just a few feet above the chamber as in Jens’ and Sol’s video. Other than that one loose flake, that climb is unbelievable, one of the best quality sustained routes I have had the pleasure of climbing! Gear Notes: double rack small stuff to #2 c4 and a single 3 and 4 c4. set of nuts. 70 m rope Approach Notes: tons of blow down! the tiny campsite and rockwall have been obliterated
