wayne Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 Ok I am sure the authors of the books have done more than any of us, but how many check marks can you boast?

iain Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 You should post all the ones you have checked off before you ask that. Should minimize a lot of the incoming spray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should minimize a lot of the incoming spray. The point was to induce the spray. As for the Ore Choss Wanks > Select? Besides the Palmer Glacier Headwall Direct (without the fixed lines), Are there any select in Oregon?

Cpt.Caveman Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 Bolts and sport climbing vs. alpine climbing mentality seem to generate a lot of spray. Also dont forget about politics, pot smoking, mountaineers or WAC and environment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayB Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 I think I've done two in the first volume and two in the second. Going for the big number 5 this weekend, baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 The super-classics: Black Butte direct Collier Cone, crater wall Pilot Butte, north face Am I on the right track Tim? The only climb I've done in the selected climbs books is Sandy Headwall on Hood a couple times. I need to move northward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne Posted September 27, 2002 Author Share Posted September 27, 2002 Those the super-classics are sound, I think the best Or-choss-wank is E.butt of Washington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How bad is the rock on the east buttress? I've heard good things about that climb. Poorly protected?

dbconlin Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 OK, how about how many of the 50 classic climbs in North America (not to be confused with the newer 50 favorite climbs) have you done? I haven't seen the list, actually, but I know I've done at least one: the Petit Grepon in Rocky Mt. Nat. park. It was pretty spectacular and not very hard. How about y'all? Any recommendations?

Yeah, if you're thinking o fdoing the E Butt on Middle Cathedral in the Valley, go left and do the DNB instead. Longer, a little harder, more commiting and a lot less crowded.

iain Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 Have people here climbed the Lotus Tower? That's one of the 50 classics in NA is it not? It looks beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelly Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 Can't speak of the quality of the E. Buttress Route on Washington, but I'm familiar with the SE Spur Route. The first 3-4 pitches follow a nice ridge on good rock. The remaining 5-6 pitches have a lot of ledges with tons of loose rock just waiting to fall off. The protection is generally pretty good but the climbing is pretty easy. As for "alpine rock routes" in Oregon, it rates pretty good, but tread lightly!!

Dru Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 I have made 50 classic first ascents that eclipse both the Steck/Roper 50 and the Kroese 50 in quality, line, position and aesthetics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gapertimmy Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 i'm personally eyeing a variation to the normal NW direct on blackbutte. there is a bit more exposure and some tricky moves, i think it will be a new classic line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
