IceIceBaby Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 who would like to go? whatever Dtooling, hiking, scoping at Snoqualmie dont have a car but I have the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpine_Dreamer Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I'm heading up to the pass tomorrow to meet vraddict and climb the Toof (my original plan for Chair NEB got canned for my lack of skillz, bailing partners, etc). If the Toof goes quick, could try to hit Rap Wall (is there any moderate drytooling there?) or see if there's a pitch or two of ice in that area. Vraddict has no tools right now, but we could figure something out. PM if interested . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 could try to hit Rap Wall (is there any moderate drytooling there?) or see if there's a pitch or two of ice in that area. no moderate dry tooling however, a stick clip will get you up at least one of the routes if you are not up to leading. There is a fixed rope on one of the projects that usually gets really iced up, but if it isnt too icy youre welcome to use it to TR off that anchor. i doubt there will be any 2 pitch ice routes in below 4000-6000 ft anywhere right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbb Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 at the rap wall you can walk around to the left (west) and come in from above the climbs. lots of slings to assist in rapping down to the chains. TR away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken4ord Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Shit Syncro probably won't be in for a while, that is south facing and at a low elevation. Definitely get on it, it is a great route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearho Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Where is "Rap Wall"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin_RR Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Rap "Wall" consists of a few exposed rock faces of Snoqualmie pass above Alpental ski area. Approach: from Alpental go to Source like, then ascend the snow slope W-SW, as if you are heading up to the Tooth. You should see them on your right, below the E face of the Chair. The ice is totally not in condition right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin_RR Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Hey Alex, so am I off-base here with the location info? That's where it looked like it was when I was up there, but maybe I got it wrong. Care to fill us in on the real spot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceIceBaby Posted December 24, 2004 Author Share Posted December 24, 2004 you were on the money. I remember the area from Strong slides show it is the right area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 You should see them on your right, below the E face of the Chair. The ice is totally not in condition right. The 'Rap Wall' is not below the E face of Chair. It is below Bryant Peak, I believe. Otherwise your directions were right on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
