Hyndman/Old Hyndman Peak Beta?

[John Frieh]

I've heard Hyndman and Old Hyndman (in Idaho) each have a route or two... specifically:

 

Old Hyndman Peak: Northeast Face

Bear/Chicken Variation, IV 5.8 Mixed

Dean Lords, Brian Wood, Oct. '00

 

Old Hyndman Peak, North Ridge

II 5.7, 10/6/2001

 

Hyndman Peak: Northeast Face

"The Travis Michaelis Memorial Route"

WI 4, M5, (1800 feet)

Dean Lords, Abe Dickerson, May '04

 

What's the dope? Approach length? Etc etc… Anybody?

Here is some basic info off rc.com:

 

Hyndman Peak

Old Hyndman Peak

N. Face Mt. Borah

 

I have some additional info I got from one of the members of the FA party; pm me if you are interested. They look sweet!

Might get more response on that idahosummits.com message board. The first two you mention look pretty awsome.

 

Wondering if Elephants Perch store in Ketchum, ID might have some beta for you (then again it might be kind of out of their region).

 

Good luck and looking forward to a TR.

dean has been very forthcoming with beta for me in the past. I have his e-mail around somewhere if you want it. I might be interested too. The elephant's perch didn't seem to know much about snow/ice/mixed routes last time i was there.
