syudla Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Any body here climbed this route? Plan to climb late May early June. Looking for any useful beta or advise. (Plan to descend W Rib for approach) Is the 'shrund still split by the ramp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Perhaps try sending 'W' or 'joepuryear' a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineK Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 I have, but my info is 17 years old, so I don't know how much it would help. Â In general I would say that descending the W Rib would be a safer aproach to the base of the route, however you will still have to cross some monster crevases in the upper basin of the NE Fork. Â The only problems we had with route finding was finding a way through the rock bands above 16,000'. The gully that leads to a traverse at the top of the rock band wasn't that obvious to us, and the traverse doesn't look like it will go until it does.

teleon Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 I'm trying to put together a trip up thr NE Fork this spring as well. I have a bunch of email correspondence on particulars of the Cassin, a reference or two, and somewhere I have a copy of the topo Andy DeClerk drew.
