Don_Serl Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 try to find a library in your area which has holdings of the canadian alpine journal, and work your way thru the last 20 years or so. amer alpine club in jackson hole must have them, if all else fails. worth a weekend drive from texas... Â btw, if u have specific questions, feel free to PM me. Â cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know_Fear Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Hi, Â I'm very interested in climbing, and/or skiing in the Coast Range. Are you looking for partners? Send me a pm and I'll contact you. Â I've heard a few general route descriptions, but no specifics. Have you looked at John Baldwin's books. Very inspriational... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forrest_m Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 bp - what kind of routes are you interested in focusing on - snow/ice or rock, grade IV, V or VI? more or less explored areas (i.e. better info vs. more first ascent potential)? a little more info would help with making recommendations, the coast range is a big place. Â a group of 8 of us of mixed ability levels/suffering thresholds flew into the plummer hut (below claw peak near mt. waddington) a few summers back and were all able to find things to amuse ourselves for three weeks without any trouble, so that's one option.

Winter Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I'll prolly be in the waddington range with three others the first two weeks of august. plans not set in stone yet. let me know if you want to talk. i'd be interested to know if others will be in that area at the same time.

bobbyperu Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 (edited) cool folks thanx for the feedback...i thinkin combatant col/sunny knob,to focus on mostly rock routes on combatant, teidemann, asperity,serra towers...etc. i'm thinking around the end of july, early august, for 2-4 weeks, repeating classics/ scoping potential. have a couple folks really interested, and will be climbing as soon as my winter job ends around here tons...i thought it'd be cool to meet up with other folks who will be around and do some routes here prior to flying out.-bp Edited March 18, 2004 by bobbyperu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forrest_m Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 be aware that sunny knob and combatant col are not really accessible to one another. i mean, i'm sure it's possible, but not at all easy. if you want to climb on tiedemann or asperity, you will want to be at sunny knob, but most of the newer routes on combatant are accessed from combatant col. Â we did the s. butt. integrale on tiedemann, so if you want specific beta, shoot me a pm. it's the best alpine rock route i've ever done.

bobbyperu Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 (edited) ha ha what i meant i suppose was those were two areas i was considering...leaving alot of specific deets up in the air for now. thanx for the info...i have looked into the integral and its sounds great...skywalk butt, kystra or whatever...long beautiful alpine rock climbing...ummmm. i will be doin' "training trips this season, cascades, squamish, swbc alpine, bugs, etc...lots of free time, and will be looking for peeps. -bp Edited March 18, 2004 by bobbyperu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_White Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 try to find a library in your area which has holdings of the canadian alpine journal, and work your way thru the last 20 years or so. amer alpine club in jackson hole must have them, if all else fails. worth a weekend drive from texas... btw, if u have specific questions, feel free to PM me.  cheers,  Since BP is actually in the Seattle area (at least part of the time) I'd recommend the Mountaineer's Library. It's been years since I've been there, but they had a great collection of stuff, including all those CAJ's, which seem like the best source of info.
