viktor Posted March 2, 2002 Posted March 2, 2002 Has anyone out there climbed any of the routes in this area of Snow Creek Wall? I am revising the guidebook and welcome any info on any of the obscure stuff up there. thanks Quote
chucK Posted March 2, 2002 Posted March 2, 2002 Here's something Caveman wrote in the thread http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=001229 about Easter Tower Sure. JValente MOleson and I cruise up Easter Sunday with the dog. We intended on climbing the Outside face route. After looking at the 5.9 pitch we decided it could have been mossy and or wet. We moved around to the notch. It was Mike's lead so he picked a route in the east side. No chimney as noted in several books. Just crappy wet moss covered rock and 3 or 4 rattly pitons on the crux that would not likely hold a fall even if you clipped them all. Burrow through a really annoying tree up some more choss and finally the small summit. The notch route is probably better. I still don't know about the Outside Face since we never completed it.If you are up there you might as well do one of the Beckey routes behind it on Snow Creek Wall. One is 5.7 one is 5.8 and they are not too long but look fun. I hear April Fools tower is fun which is a short walk away from Easter.. Quote
Szyjakowski Posted March 2, 2002 Posted March 2, 2002 easter tower fun as hell...dirty and great cracks...champagne awesome....spring fever thin gear if you climb wrong first pitch (lots to choose from)....still rad...traverse of upper pinnacles to top of outerspace (acually above country club ramp end), fun in boulder tennies and short rope with rack; stellar views.....april fools (5.9 route) to the summit killer...not sure on first two pitches as I climbed up some 5.8-9 dihedral that starts near main wall in a gully...(two pitches to the top of one of the most neatest towers in the valley)...APPROACH gully to all the routes right of Arch area on Snow Creek wall 5.8, loose as hell, good place to get in a fight with your buddy because you almost killed em with a shifting boulder (luckily managed to hold it in place)...ALTERNATIVE approach to towers needed and reccomended....any suggestions...BTW the sunshine at Larabee this morning and the sunset last nite was amazing...VIKTOR any questions PM me and I will call you Quote
jhamaker Posted March 4, 2002 Posted March 4, 2002 *Still* in revision stage? Will you ever print? My Don Brooks "Washington Rock" is getting a little dog-eared. Give me a reason to up-grade. Quote
