jordop Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 Anybody done or have any info on any of the very-lesser-travelled WA Pass routes like The Snout, State Crag, Constitution Crag, M&M Wall, Point 7002, Point 7046?? All around III/IV 5.8/5.9. Are they unrepeated for a reason, i.e. shit rock and bush?? Quote
Billygoat Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 I'll do the Snout with ya. In fact Michael Layton is interested too. I have a picture of it in my gallery. I skied up around there last spring ('03) Looked damn fine to me. Just off the beaten path and too close to Lib/Early/Wine/Cutthroat for the masses to care about. We actually climbed a crag across the valley that was quite superb, has no name and won't get one from me. That whole area is ripe with adventure climbing on good rock IMO Quote
jordop Posted June 3, 2004 Author Posted June 3, 2004 NE face of Tower lunar rubble on 1/2 moon "Anybody done or have any info on any of the very-lesser-travelled WA Pass routes . . ." So how was Tower there Layton I mean routes you HAVE done Quote
rat Posted June 3, 2004 Posted June 3, 2004 direct north face of liberty bell---good hard kitty litter with runouts. moonshine (west pillar) on half-moon---put up not knowing about lunar rubble and might share some pitches. good, not as hard kitty litter and cracks. cedar creek wall---climbing kitty litter for location.

Billygoat Posted June 3, 2004 Posted June 3, 2004 Yeah it's all kitty litter. Nothing up there worth doing. Absolute choss. You should head to 11worth. Move along now... Quote
jordop Posted June 6, 2004 Author Posted June 6, 2004 So I dug up the '71 AAJ in which 'The Snout' was first reported: "The route is the best freeclimb in Washington" said Mark Weigelt Quote
Szyjakowski Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 Yeah it's all kitty litter. Nothing up there worth doing. Absolute choss. You should head to 11worth. Move along now... ltown is kitty litter galore. dirt and ticks as well anyone done the east butt of cutthroat Quote
Billygoat Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 Well obviously Jordop, he was trying to draw people away from the Liberty Bell group because it was getting crowded there. That Snout is absolutely crap. Full of boggers in fact. I wouldn't waste any time up there. All the same, photocopy that article for me so I can put it in my "climbs to avoid" file. thanks BG Quote
Dru Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 Billygoat I heard there are some fresh boulder problems up there at the pass now too. Quote
Billygoat Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 Yeah, real fresh. You can still smell the sulphur Quote
