urbanwanker Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Hi folks, a buddy and I did this climb we spotted back on the 14th of November on Rainier. This pic is from Panorama Point looking over at the climb (center gully) as we first saw it 2 days before we climbed it. Our general impression is it gets buried in snow as the season progresses so it may have never been done before. It's about half way up the Nisqually on the north side of the glacier, 3 pitches of 3+/4- climbing. I'm still figuring out this post thing, so hopefully I can attach my pics successfully! Any one in the know out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanwanker Posted December 2, 2003 Author Share Posted December 2, 2003 OK, author of original post here, just added another pic file with better close up of the climb. Eventually, I'll figure out how to put these in the body of the post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayB Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Word. Way to scope and score! Thanks for sharing your find. When Paco and I were up on Shuksan in early November there were hundreds of frozen cascades visible beneath all of the glaciers. Just about all of them looked like low angle gulleys from a distance, but my guess would be that there are quite a few worthy lines like this that form up on the periphery of glaciers every year. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
