dusty_boots Posted August 7, 2002 Posted August 7, 2002 looking at sleese in a couple weeks. approach looks like a hump -- it'd suck to head all the way in if the route wasn't worthy.... anybody have an opinion? route conditions? bivy beta? Quote
Peter_Puget Posted August 7, 2002 Posted August 7, 2002 I climbed the full ridge many years ago and just about the only thing I can remember with much detail is the really cool bivi spot with an amazing view down the East face. Wait that’s a fib, I also remember pulling onto the ledge low on the route and coming face to face with a turd. If I was ever going to do the ridge again I would make sure I spent a night on that ledge. (The ledge is huge by the way.) That bivi has to be one of the coolest around the actual climbing pretty unremarkable. The climbing below the bivi (directly up the ridge) was the best on the route. Forgot to mention that the bivi I am refering to is about 2/3 up the face right below where the ridge steepens. [ 08-07-2002, 03:34 PM: Message edited by: Peter Puget ] Quote

dusty_boots Posted August 7, 2002 Author Posted August 7, 2002 happy fingers type "sleese".... I tried a search before I posted, but only used the past 30 days... I just now found some stuff from last summer -- thx for the info, guys. Quote
forrest_m Posted August 7, 2002 Posted August 7, 2002 also look at this one: http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=2;t=000412 starts out as a TR about bear mt. but quickly becomes a comparison of the relative merits of that route vs. ne butt of slesse Quote
