Necronomicon Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 Chehalis: 4 Necro: 0 Next time: Crampons on sandals. That should do the trick. Quote
Dru Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 Dru: 2 (NR clarke, SR grainger) Chehalis: 1 (Robertson) ML did you go in via Nursery Pass or via Statlu Lake and rap-in from east ridge? Quote
layton Posted August 20, 2003 Author Posted August 20, 2003 Nursery pass approach Actually Dru, my stats are: Chehalis (3.0) Direktissma x2, Bardean x1 Layton (0.14) 7 pitches on Direktissima Quote
layton Posted August 23, 2003 Author Posted August 23, 2003 anyone got any beta since the route has been reportedly made "safer" by the supposed addition of anchors and fixed gear? Quote
