DPS Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Nice work boys! Looked like conditions are as good as they get on that route. When my partner I attempted it 20 years ago we had a disagreement on the route. I said we needed to follow the left traversing kitty litter and verglass covered sloping ramp/ledge to the OBVIOUS dihedral/gulley system. He disagreed and insisted that we needed continue up the broad couloir. He is more stubborn that I am so up the couloir we went and discovered fun ice and mixed climbing. After we pulled the final obstacle I told him that was definitely not NY Gulley. He said 'I know, but there was no f'ing way I was going to cross that ramp'. The route we climbed has been since described variously as NJ Turnpike (our name) and LA Express. Edited March 17, 2020 by DPS 2 Quote
Alex789 Posted March 23, 2020 Author Posted March 23, 2020 DPS: First ascend - great! It's a pity that your route is not yet in any guidebook. This picture:https://kurthicks.com/2012/02/18/snoqualmie-mountain-nw-face-topo/ is all we have. Quote
