Winter Posted September 11, 2002 Share 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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off_White Posted September 12, 2002 Share 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.

Off_White Posted September 12, 2002 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip_M._Kliphiem Posted September 14, 2002 Author Share 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.
