ScottP Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 What's the story on this route? A beautiful formation, hard aid, classic setting. I got spanked way low on the first pitch several years ago on a "reconnaissance". The most high tech gear I had was RP's, one of which which I resorted to try using as a bashie before turning tail. I've heard rumors of a second ascent. Anybody know anything more? Quote
Mr._Natural Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 I did most of the route with Bart Paull about 8 or so years ago. I led the first 5.8 bullshit pitch and he styled the crux, running a real short "pitch" with the original third. If i recall correctly (doubtful) the best piece he got was a tied off baby angle and that was way low on the pitch, like the first piece. I remember cleaning equalized beaks . We didn't finish the last few pitches, so i wouldn't call it a s.a. Don't fall. Quote
Peter_Puget Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 Just got around to seeing this thread I know of several ascents but none have continued to the top which seems to be a couple hundred feet of broken and forested rock. Personally I covet the second ascent of NW Passage! Quote
bigwalling Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 Someone talked about it on here a while back. Maybe a couple years even. I think Cramer has done parts of it. I've been wanting to check it out. Is the 5.8 super easy? Quote
