Climzalot Posted February 15, 2003 Posted February 15, 2003 Finally got my film back. Here is a link to some photos. They wont be there for long so feel free to check them out. Sorry the quality sucks. I will attempt to photo shop a line on the face when I have a few minutes. http://aai.cc/ProgramDetail.asp?program=63 Quote
layton Posted February 15, 2003 Posted February 15, 2003 Wow! You da man mofo. You got your "2" routes in the cascades this "winter", now it's all bonus points. Long live Polish Bob Quote
Bill_Simpkins Posted February 15, 2003 Posted February 15, 2003 Badass! Yeah that ridge is the better approach. Just hike to Pyramid Lake and access the ridge on the left side. There is a boot path underneath the snow. Good job!!!!!! Quote
Marko Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 Impressive Cascade climb in impressive looking conditions. Nice. Thanks for the photos. Mark Quote
Montana_Climber Posted February 21, 2003 Posted February 21, 2003 Damn, so that's what it looks like. I tried to do a winter ascent in 1996, right around the beginning of January. That was a wet year. As I recall, it rained nearly every day from November to February. I made it to the lake, went up the talus, then began up the ridge. We made it another 3-4 hours up the ridge before stopping. We had no idea where we were on the mountain or how much further we had to go. We spent the night there, still below treeline, and turned around the next morning. It was my initiation into Cascade climbing in the winter. I was in the process of moving to Seattle and wanted to hit a few peaks before starting to work. Quote

j_b Posted April 10, 2003 Posted April 10, 2003 how is this? I have troubles with the file size limit. Quote
Climzalot Posted April 10, 2003 Author Posted April 10, 2003 Hey JB. Thanks for posting the photo. I was really bummed we didnt get a photo of the face from an angle that showed our route. I am super stoked to see this perspective on the peak. Thanks man. Quote
glassgowkiss Posted April 11, 2003 Posted April 11, 2003 thanks jb for the photos. there is a lot more snow on this picture compared to the time of FA, so it's kind of hard to see all the features. but with the description of the FA party it should be really obvious. there is a vast number of new lines in the area to be climbed- mixed-alpine, ice- you name it. with a well broken trail it should be possible to do some of them car to car in a long day. i hope more people climb there and it becomes the Ben of N. Cascades. Quote

pms Posted April 11, 2003 Posted April 11, 2003 Tim, I think Ladder Creek will take you there. Behind the Newhalem gererators. Quote
