    Disappearing routes at Interstate Park

    in Climber's Board

    Posted

    Just got this from Garth Bruce in response:

    Hi MAS,

     

    I didn't know someone had removed the bolts and hangers. That's too bad. Did you noticed if any other of the routes were missing bolts or hangers?

     

    Thx for the info.

    So it appears we have a mystery.

     

    It was also one of my favorite routes in the area as well, nice overhang with good jugs... madgo_ron.gif

    North Twin Sister out by Acme , WA via the West Ridge. 6 hours from TH to summit and 3hrs back. I should mention though that the glissade down the North face is one of the sweestest in the Cascades...

    Well, it was scary as hell, and I am glad that my pieces stayed in long enough for my second to clean them! [smile] . I should also mention that Mt. Erie is definitely underrated for its locale. Nothing like having a commanding view of the San Juans, Rainier, Baker, the Olympics, and tons of eagles to boot!

    Ramone Rock ?

    Hey all,

     

    I was perusing my Smoot, and came across the chapter for Ramone Rock. Having just started leading in trad, this looks like a decent area to check out ( nice low grades that I could flail up ). So , is it worth checking out ?

     

    Thx.

    Hey all,

     

    thanks for the beta and tips. I already own Long's book on anchors, which I have been studying... Plan on doing some climbing today out at 38 ,LIttle Si, or depending on weather, maybe tooling around the Marymoor rock.

     

    I will be the guy in the black hooded sweatshirt that says Jade Tree.

    OK,

     

    I have been climbing on TR for a few years now, been starting to lead on sport this spring, been traumatized by the Mtnrs Basic class, and now I am the possesion of some nuts I am looking for some good areas around Seattle where I can start working on my craft.

     

    I am thinking Erie would be a good area. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

     

    BTW I am available as a second on any climbing. available most weekends.

    I have been climbing (TR) for the past year and a half in the gym. I have done the basic course and some alpine/glacier climbs with *that* group. Have done some outside rock climbing ( 38, Erie ). Anyone in need of a belay slave and/or driver drop a line cool.gif" border="0 . Trad/sport doesn't matter, just looking for more experience.

    Thanks...

    Glacier Peak/Sitkum Glacier 6/22-6/24

    in North Cascades

    Headed up on Friday night , camped at trailhead. Started at 7am on Sat and reached Boulder Basin by 12pm, encountering snow around 5K. Pushed on to the bivy sites at 6900'. Well developed sites with good running water I might add. 10 parties ahead of us, all summiting on Saturday. We were up at 1am, heading up at 2:30am along the Sitkum glacier. Didn't really feel like we were on a glacier though, no open crevasses between high camp to the Saddle. We had clear visibility, views to Rainier, Stuart, et al. Summited around 6:30am, where it was a balmy 15 degrees (yikes), and headed back to camp down the steep snow field directly south of the pumice/scree slope from the Saddle. Packed up and hit the cars around 2:00pm.

    A tiring weekend but the excellent weather and fairly safe conditions on the glacier mostly made up for it. Read the other post about the trailhead break-ins.

    Cheers
