Trip Report:
Brief Story:
I climbed NEB July 24.
Glacier is chill and transition onto rock was too. Walked right on.
Great climbing on the ridge.
I had a bad rappel session, when I (perhaps?) rapped the wrong gully off the summit. I went down the first one I came to - There was tat and a ring. This put me into a bad rock gully with shitty piton anchors. I was hit by a rock pulling the rope and coreshot the rope as well. Ended up rapping off a piton that I removed easily and reset with my Raven. After a second rap i got to steep snow and continued down the couloir, which was the correct area to be in. This area seemed dangerous and I hope it isn't the standard rap route - any info would be appreciated.
Challenging to find the Park Creek Trail. Give yourself extra time.
Theres a snow patch at the 8800' bivy, should you need it. Should be there for a couple weeks I think.
What a beautiful place!
