alpine_freak Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 So I have checked off the Tooth, and now Ingalls Peak. Where to climb next? Does anyone have some good suggestions, for a newcomer to the world of alpine climbing? Take it easy one me (5.5 - 5.7) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimL Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Washington Pass Climbs: Liberty Bell - Beckey Route 5.6 South Early Winters Spire - South Arete 5.4 I second WR of Prussik Peak. Long hike but great area and climb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Frieh Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 WR Prusik Pk Word. Before June 15th (unless you already have a permit reservation). Kind of a bigger step, but start checking out the W. Ridge of Forbidden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David_Parker Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Mt. Constance in the Olympics. It gives you a little bit of everything and will challenge your route finding skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Dierdre in Squamish. N face of Vesper (glacier xing reqd). Drive to CA and climb the Snake Dike on Half Dome. btw, Mt Constance is now one heck of a day trip because the road was washed out, adding an extra 3 miles and another 1000 vert ft. Still a great peak, though non-technical. Leave ropes at home, bring helmet for scree landing on your partner's head. Note, many alpine routes in this range involve long run-outs and/or soloing lots of 4th to easy 5th class. My 2 cents: Mt Thompson West ridge is a worthless pile of rubble waiting to crumble in your hand. Spend your time elsewhere. Have fun.
