layton Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 Saw cars parked at Pyramid past gaper checkout time. Did you go up there Rat? Crazypolishbob, were you up there or did you go to Joffre?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rat Posted February 10, 2003 Author Share Posted February 10, 2003 failed attempt on the ne face of pyramid. hope to return after some more melt/freeze cycles thicken the ice. a nice line that appears technically harder, but shorter, than the north face of colonial.

Jason_Martin Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Just got an email from a guy who reported that they completed a seven pitch mixed route on the East Face of Pyramid Peak. He rated the route D with mixed ground up to ninety degrees, WI 3. Supposedly there is one pitch of M4. Â That's all the beta he gave me. Hopefully, he or one of the others on this climb will decide to post a complete trip report. Â Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climzalot Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Hey Jason. The guy that emailed you those details must have been Polish Bob. We climbed this route yesterday with a friend of his. Feel free to drop me an email if you are curious or want more details. Â Coley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 That E Face of Pyramid looks like it'd be a blast. Hey, wait a minute, did anyone see Polish Bob's tracks? Did he really do it? We'll never really know... Â Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climzalot Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Hey Rat. I did see your tracks. I noticed them first where they crossed the snowcone/slope over to the base of the face and then I picked them out again from on the route. It looks like you picked a better line for the approach. Did you come from the lake? We continued up the snow cone into the gully couloir on the left and then climbed up a depression/groove on the right hand side of the gully to access the face and then up from there. We came to the same conclusion that it looks like you did with the right hand side of the face, not enough ice. It there was a little more of the frozen stuff it looks like there would be some stellar lines there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_Martin Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Nice Job Coley... Â It was indeed Polish Bob who emailed me. I'll be in touch with you about this craziness you guys managed to pull off. Â Congrats guys. Â Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â yea, we went up to the ridge from the lake. pretty easy going but some crap snow/tight trees along parts of the ridge. definitely room for some more lines on that face and the north face right of the north buttress. we might have been on bob "hyperbole" cotter's route but i don't have beckey's bible so am not sure. glad to hear lots of people went out and got shit done last weekend.
