Heading out to climb Baker on Friday. Looking to get this done in a car to car fashion (have done it before). Light and fast is the spirit. Anyone interested is welcome to join me.
Well, there you have it gentleman. This is what happens when every damn rock around here has a name. I never get it right.
For what it's worth- the person in 2nd pics. is standing directly bellow Ghost Dog M11 dry tool line and 1st. pic. is about 5min and 200f bellow it.
Hi Blake.
I am hoping that you have found my grigri.
I was there on friday and my buddy was belaying me and instead of racking it just put it on the rock. It was on the Iron Horse route.
Blue with BD locker carabiner with closing bottom and also multicolor tape. The biner is also little bit sticky.
Just climbed the Flow Reversal today and it's in. Much fatter then 3 weeks ago and good to go.
Ps. I have found climbing helmet on the way back and would be glad to return it to the
rightful owner.
edit: great news - owner found
It looked like you guys where enjoying the climb. I felt better once I saw you guys where pursuing different line and where not directly bellow us receiving all that snow and ice shower we where sending down.
The route we where sending had plenty of ice patches for pro and each belay was tree except the last stretch to summit.
-I may also add that one 60m line is sufficient for rappel in case you can't get your hans on double ropes and don't fell like dragging the extra weight .
Trip: Chair peak - Northeast Face
Date: 1/26/2014
Trip Report:
Just putting it out there for people not sure about current conditions. We have climbed this Northeast route last week and also today.
We have started 6am and came back 3pm 2 people last week. Today we have climbed in team of three and had the same time. So if you start early you'll be home before sunset
There's still plenty of ice to have fun on but won't last long so go get some!
Approach: No flotation needed. The snow is firm enough and easy going. Just make sure you start early.
Gear: No pickets or pins needed. I could actually place one 19cm screw today but don't count on it. Small rock gear used as well.
Ps: I have accidentally dropped 16cm BD Express(blue) screw in like new condition on the route so if by some miracle someone find it I would love to have it back in exchange for beer of course. Thanks
