philfort Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Looking to go check out the north face of Fernow (45 degree ice, class 4 rock ... is this climb a little-known gem!?). Plannig to approach from Phelps creek. Got a tentative partner who said he might be interested Sat/Sun, but haven't heard back from him yet... Anyone?

dberdinka Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 ... is this climb a little-known gem!?). I don't want to burst your bubble, but it really isn't. The approach from Holden Village is a massive shwack, the ice face is small, the rock is mediocre. But hey, it's a way out there wilderness experience.

But hey, it's a way out there wilderness experience. Oh, well there go my chances of finding anyone else Planning to approach from the south, to avoid bushwhacking and Holden logistics. Just solo it. The ice would probably be ok, but I dunno about 1960's "4th class" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
