I'm thinking no pushover for sure. Quote

dberdinka Posted May 19, 2003 Posted May 19, 2003 Has Dolomite Tower ever seen a repeat? Anyone? Anyone? Quote
Alex Posted May 19, 2003 Posted May 19, 2003 At least one of the two routes on Dolomite has been repeated, yes. The dude even posts here. Alex Quote
mneagle Posted May 19, 2003 Posted May 19, 2003 Matt_Anderson climbed Burdo's big project a few years ago. When we climbed the North Face of Baring a few years ago there hadn't been any ascents logged in the register for several years. Does anyone know whether the right side variation of the North Face has been repeated? Quote
MysticNacho Posted May 19, 2003 Posted May 19, 2003 Lets hear some more nasty details about the north face. TR's, failed attempts, "I had a bad dream about the NF" etc. Quote
Bronco Posted May 19, 2003 Posted May 19, 2003 Isn't Mt. Baring in the N. Cascades? How did those north facing gullies up the South Peak look? Any snow/Ice left? Quote

Ice was crashing down from all over the place. Snow was steamrolling and over 4 feet deep for sure once on the north sides. I was unable to determine how deep the snow was. It's not an issue on the South slopes. Doesnt look like that great of a spot for ice climbing there unless I missed something... The trail leading up to the NW is classic Cascades approach. I'd certainly take that route again and not the South Route. South looked more boring. Barclay Lake road hike was cool too. Saw thunderous snow and ice avalanches coming down from between Dolomite Tower and Baring Proper. Took some slides for this winter to look at. I'm gonna do that hike on a clear winter day to take some photos some time. Quote
