leif Posted May 8, 2004 Posted May 8, 2004 A friend and I are thinking about doing chair peak next year and are just starting to do some preliminary research. I was wondering which route is easier and if possible what kind of gear for both the North Face and the North East Butress Quote
cracked Posted May 8, 2004 Posted May 8, 2004 Difficulty depends on the conditions, but they're both pretty moderate, and fun! Gear also depends on conditions, but it's hard to go wrong with four screws and a small rock rack. Take a few pins. Quote
Farrgo Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 Unless it is really icy, I wouldn't worry about bringing too many screws. I think last year I used two, both on the "crux" section. I would bring a very small rock rack, say some nuts and some pins. Also, a picket or two couldn't hurt either. Quote
kurthicks Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 yea, we used 1 screw, 2 small cams and tons of pickets this winter. the screw was pretty shitty too. Quote
MCash Posted May 11, 2004 Posted May 11, 2004 I put up a route page for the Northeast Buttress with some gear suggestions there. Check it out... http://www.summitpost.com/mountains/route_link.pl/route_id/2840/object_id/762 Quote
