Mark_Husbands Posted January 27, 2004 Posted January 27, 2004 Climb: mountaineer crk-maybe Emerald City Date of Climb: 1/25/2004 Trip Report: Went to Mountaineer Creek Sunday with Geordie and Jon. Skipped crowded Hubba Hubba and spent the morning on snowshoes. Found a pillar that I think is Emerald City once it fattens into a wider flow. met two guys, Jeff and Phil, who climbed several short lines right around there. A lot of driving and hiking for 40 ft. of ice, but it was nice to get out of town. I had never been out ther before, but it looked like alot of stuff had not touched down, or did not top out, the way it looked in the books in ideal conditions. got some pics. Geordie crossing the creek me leading the little pillar restful screw placement jon's second day on ice ever jeff leading the next pillar to the right, somewhat steeper Quote
Phil K Posted January 28, 2004 Posted January 28, 2004 Short, but fun. 'Ought to be in better shape with some more cold weather. Worth the two hours walk for an alternative if Hubba Hubba is too crowded. Thanks for posting, and nice to meet you guys. Quote

BigWave Posted January 28, 2004 Posted January 28, 2004 Geordie seems to be trying to chase the cameraman away with an onslaught of snowballs. Don't you know not to walk in on a brother while he's gettin some. Quote
