christian510 Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Sounds like people around here are more interested in my typing than climbing. Anyway, just thought I would drop all you spray geeks a line about my last climb -- this time I found a partener. We climbed Yokum ridge Saturday. 15 hours round trip. We made an error locating the correct couloir to reach the top or the Queen's chair. I ended up leading some AI 6 rime ice. VERY HEAD'S UP. I will give more info later.

CraigA Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Christian, I was up to do Leuthold on Sunday with b-rock and Funguy, we saw your tracks on Yocum where you started and where you skirted the first gendarme (after we bailed on Leuthold do to MAJOR ice fall, just ask Funguy's knee and helmet!!), but I didn't see any tracks heading up to the ridge line proper. At what point did you gain the ridge crest? Did you traverse all the way past the second gendarme? Did you tackle the upper buttress? Just wondering! Â Congrats on an awesome climb, I hope to do it someday myself. Â Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Does this mean FUnguy took another fall in a Leuthold's attempt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funguy took the brunt of it! Â Still a fun trip. Did some exploring around on the Reid. Â Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texplorer Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Nice job christian. Ridge or no, its a fun route. I am interested to hear your full trip report soon. Yokum is serious but its not a "death route" by any means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
