You saw nothing here. Couloirs on north faces of nearby peaks are steep and very dangerous! PS. I hate 3 day weekends where the weather is only conducive to reading this site and drinking Quote
AlpinistAndrew Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 climbed the North Face of Chair Peak on Saturday with Masternate32 and one other. stable snow conditions on the approach (though very icy slopes). the climb was awesome, fair amount of rotten ice, but still quality climbing. we hiked out in the dark and fog. there was a party of four ahead of us on the climb and other than that we didn't see anyone else that day.

Sabertooth Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 Awesome. Any pics? What pro did you place with the rotten ice? Quote
schnitzem Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 Jesus, where the fuck is that?? Follow savaiusini's link that he posted above. ^^ Are there mixed ice routes in there..or is it really chossy? Quote
AlpinistAndrew Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 No pics sadly. We were able to place several screws in some good ice. we used a picket on one pitch, other that, we just ran it out and used trees higher up. there was sections of quality ice, but interspersed with not such good ice. still an awesome climb.

Juan Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 The party of four was Doug Walker, Todd, Gus, and Julian Simon. They left the car at 8:30 and got to the top via the N. Face at 1:00. Pretty fast, eh? They said they saw you at one point but then didn't see you again. Sound like the day was a good one. Way to go. John Sharp Quote
