JoshK Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 hey, for any of you who have climbed triple couliors, what type of rope and protection did you bring? If you had to do it again, would you leave anything or bring anything else? Thanks. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 3-4 KBs, 2 LAs, metolius green cam, yellow and blue metoluis tcus, 6 long slings. one skinny rope. should be a good weekend for it too... Quote
Lambone Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 Isn't there sometimes an ice pitch on that route? Quote

Necronomicon Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 We climbed on a doubled up 8.2mm x 60m. We belayed two pitches, the first ice step, and the transition into the third colouir, simul-soloed the first colouir, and simul-climbed the rest. We used three cams(purple-red camalots) and pins(kb and angles). Quote
JoshK Posted February 27, 2003 Author Posted February 27, 2003 Schweet, thanks for the info guys. Necro, was the extra 10m of rope that a 60m gives you quite useful? My selection of ropes are 10.5x60m, 9.4x60m, 9x50m and 8.3x30m. My preference would be to take the 9x50m, but if the 60m is a lot more useful, I'd go for that. Quote
Lambone Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 Josh, i'd take the 9/50m. it's lighter and it sounds like you can probably easily simo anything if you cant reach a good belay. Quote

JoshK Posted February 27, 2003 Author Posted February 27, 2003 I've also had a chat with the leavenworth police and we have permission to be on the road. Quote
ivan Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 you gonna brave the snowy road of doom once more? i think i hear henry v in the background "...or fill the tracks up w/ our climbing dead..." Quote
JoshK Posted February 27, 2003 Author Posted February 27, 2003 hehe...no, unless I can scrape up a loaner snowmobile the snowy road of doom will be left alone this time. I think we could have walked up the road in the time we took fucking around with the car last time. Quote
JoshK Posted March 3, 2003 Author Posted March 3, 2003 Thanks for the gear info guys. It ended up being just about right on. For any additional climbers, take note that the yellow, blue and green aliens (those are what I have for small cams) were super useful. The green size especially, as it provided a great piece of pro on the "crux" ice pitch. Quote
catbirdseat Posted March 3, 2003 Posted March 3, 2003 Congratulations. We're all waiting on the trip report. Quote
