ryland_moore Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Climbed W. Ridge on Sunday. Fun climb. Approach up Snow Creek to Lake Vivian LONG. 6 hrs. TH to Lake Vivian. The Enchantments ROCK and are beautiful. Climbing the W. Ridge was awesome. Not too hard but had some nice exposure on EXCELLENT ROCK. Hiking out the same day and driving back to Eugene is so SUCK! Left Lake Vivian at 3pm. Back to car at 7pm. Back to Eugene at 1:30am. Note to self: Wait until the Colchuck Lake TH reopens, and approach Enchantments from this side, dropping a car at the Snow Creek TH. Stay in the enchantments longer than 24 hrs. and climb multiple peaks. ie. Temple Ridge Traverse or the like. All in all an excellent way to end my alpine season.

Squid Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Good for you Ryland- were you climbing with those kids who were moving to 11worth from the Arizona/New Mexico? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryland_moore Posted September 9, 2003 Author Share Posted September 9, 2003 Yup, Danelle and I headed up there. We also did W. Ridge of Forbidden this year too. She will be at Rope Up. You coming? Hope to see you soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crackbolter Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 If you would have taken my advise you could have saved an hour on the approach. Approaching the slabs below the S face is much faster than hiking all the way to Prussik pass. Too bad there were inexperienced folks heeding poor advise at Vivian.

Â How did you know we talked to folks at Vivan who told us to go around Vivan to the left instead of right up to the S. Face? However, we descended under the S. Face back to our bivy!

Squid Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 I'll make a point of attending the rope-up if you're going to be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
