If I've got this right, it'd be a lot more than chocks that climber has. Overall, that's pretty familiar real estate--east face of Chimney Rock. Dane, I believe it's "Free Friends." Isn't that the layback crux, or at least the start of it? If I remember the story right, you gave up 3 Friends because your second--Kop--didn't know how to remove them! Who got the friends? And who's the climber?! Incidentally, I was just up on Roothaan yesterday, on skis, looking at the west side of Chimney until black clouds moved in and it started snowing sideways. There's at least 5-6' of snow still up there at 7,000'. Drove in on the Hunt Creek to Horton Ridge road route, where snow blocked us about 3 miles away from the old Horton Ridge lookout site. USFS has posted along the road that vehicle access from the E. Priest Lake Rd. to Horton Ridge is now supposed to be from Indian Creek Campground, due to logging. We decided not to double back from the Hunt Creek Road, and were able to go around the logging trucks parked on the road, which were idled for the day. --Steve in Spokane Quote
