bedellympian Posted July 1 Posted July 1 (edited) Trip: Mt. Washington - West Ridge Trip Date: 06/29/2024 Trip Report: Climbed this June 30th. Approach through the NW Bowl was actually great with snow cover and crampons, but this is changing quickly. Only a little scree the last 100 ft to the start. Climb went in 5 pitches: 60m linking N side of notch to corner pitch to start of dinner plates, simul pitch to base of headwall, 60m linking to top of headwall, 60m to just before summit, some simul scrambling to summit. Rappels have nice fresh tat on them... seriously the most pristine rap slings I've ever seen. Scrambling over to the approach trail was the most time consuming and nasty, but it's not too bad if you keep looking around for easy terrain. Overall the two crux bits (corner and headwall) are surprisingly good for volcano choss. Dinner plates are pretty bad but it's easy terrain so didn't feel awful.
