Winter Posted September 11, 2002 Posted September 11, 2002 Hey stickclip - I was in the Cirque a few weeks ago and scoped out the NE Face of Warbonnet. What happened? Beta would be appreciated, as I will be headed back. We got seriously stormed on while we were there ... chased off the east face of Pingora by lightning and hail. No time for Warbonnet. Quote

Kiss it OWhitey Well hell Caveman, its not as if annoying you is any kind of a challenge. For the record, I was engaging in light conversational banter and not commenting on what you have a right to say. I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but what you heard is not what I meant. But hey little buddy, if you really want a size 12 kiss on your dumptruck then just back it on up over here Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted September 12, 2002 Posted September 12, 2002 OW sounds like homey hd a goiod time. Who cares. No shut up and climb with me or die Quote
Off_White Posted September 12, 2002 Posted September 12, 2002 Yeah, it does. I actually meant to imply wry envy via a sarcastic aside comment to you, not actually slam anyone. Conversation is tough to do with a keyboard and no vocal tone or facial expression. Skip's list was a barebones outline of a road trip I can only wish I'd done. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted September 12, 2002 Posted September 12, 2002 Who is skip? and how do you ascertain that name. Quote

Off_White Posted September 12, 2002 Posted September 12, 2002 You tell me Capt, is it cheastbeating or merely smug & gloating? Sounds like a damn fine trip, show a few choice pictures when you get a chance. Quote

Cpt.Caveman Posted September 12, 2002 Posted September 12, 2002 Owhitey- Maybe we can both post here and line up all the ratings and climbs we had last season and this one NOT because it's BORING. Quote
Skip_M._Kliphiem Posted September 14, 2002 Author Posted September 14, 2002 Winter Regarding Warbonnet: I would suggest approaching the NE Face, if that's your intended route, by way of the east face grassy ledges. The north slab and gully approach is dirty and way loose. The route goes III 5.7. The book is a bit thin on detail but then that's part of adventure. You'll know you're on route when you start seeing the rap slings, your best option for getting off the mountain. It's mostly good rock and fun climbing except for a crumbly bit in the middle. Descend the grassy ledges, 4th class. We turned around about three hundred feet from the summit. It was getting late and my partner was having a bad hair day. Quote
Pencil_Pusher Posted July 28, 2003 Posted July 28, 2003 To the top because this is a sick and twisted trip report. Where the hell is hacim? Quote
