plexus Posted October 11, 2002 Posted October 11, 2002 Why anybody would want to do the schwak up and back from Blum in the same day is well beyond me !! How about tagging all of the summits of the Liberty Bell group in a day? Anybody try it? Looks like it could be possible.... Quote
rock-ice Posted October 11, 2002 Posted October 11, 2002 Are you sure it started with an N? Someone mentioned the Tahoma earlier. It has everything you described: a long approach, its often done in 3+ days and the scenery is spectacular. [ 10-10-2002, 11:10 PM: Message edited by: rock-ice ] Quote
ILuvAliens Posted October 11, 2002 Posted October 11, 2002 Shuksan, car to car, five shits, all solids, 17 hours. A freindly reminder to filter your water. Quote
Fence_Sitter Posted October 11, 2002 Posted October 11, 2002 yeah tahnks rockn'ice...i found out that was what it was...i wonder if that could bedone in a day? Quote
Skisports Posted October 11, 2002 Posted October 11, 2002 when we say a day are we talking super atheletes here or ever-ordinary climbers. Because last night I had a dream that I climbed Fury in a day dose that count? Quote
Jens Posted October 11, 2002 Posted October 11, 2002 If the wonderland trail can be done in 30 something hours (20,000+vertical gain and 100+ish miles?) And the nose goes in 2 something hours,Certainly any route on any hill in our state could go in a 24 hour day. Sure not by me though. Just for curiousity, who is the stongest big hill slogger in WA right now (with a good size pack, and mountain boots on -no trail runners)? I would say that Ben Manfredi would have to rank right up there. He just recently tried to break the wonderland trail record, with a pack on and with no support team or cached food or water. He usually hikes in his Terminator tele boots. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted October 11, 2002 Posted October 11, 2002 I still wait for the dope mofo to climb NB Fury or NE Face in one day and back to the car. Until then I am not convinced Quote
Colin Posted October 12, 2002 Posted October 12, 2002 I agree with Cavey. I will give my soul to anyone who can climb the Central Pillar of Swiss Peak in a day car-to-car. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted October 12, 2002 Posted October 12, 2002 walk in 27 pitches of 5.8 in a day and back I must laugh Quote

David_Parker Posted October 12, 2002 Posted October 12, 2002 There's a BIG difference between covering miles and vertical feet. While climbing the nose in 2:48 is mind boggling, it's still 3,000 feet up without much approach and straight forward descent. Approaching 15 miles, climbing 5,000+, descending/hiking out same is big enough.(Mt. Goode.) Moving over extremely rugged terrain, bush wacking, and covering MANY miles means you just won't do it in a day. Thus my premise there are LOTS of routes not doable in a day. Why bother listing them all. Those of us who have been there know getting it done in 24 hours or even 48 is NOT what it's all about. [ 10-12-2002, 11:42 AM: Message edited by: David Parker ] Quote

How about tagging all of the summits of the Liberty Bell group in a day? Anybody try it? Looks like it could be possible.... I agree!!! Sky, my brother and I just skied/climbed Blum in a day on Sunday (as near as we could. We didn't tag the true, true summit though, but it wasn't skiable via our route). And here I thought that it was an easy mtn. I was humbled. There is nothing like schwacking 5k of pure north cascades forest in the dark, in the rain, in the fog, in the winter. And oh, now I know how you resurrect old threads. I was just looking at this Dru If anyone could make a 1000 posts in a day, you would be that man Edited February 1, 2005 by AllYouCanEat Quote
Dru Posted February 1, 2005 Posted February 1, 2005 I just go to the Whos Online and see what old threads the Googlebots are reading and then reply to the good ones. Quote
tread_tramp Posted February 1, 2005 Posted February 1, 2005 How about tagging all of the summits of the Liberty Bell group in a day? Anybody try it? Looks like it could be possible.... SEF Has done this; and not by the easiest routes. A notable accomplishment. Quote
specialed Posted February 1, 2005 Posted February 1, 2005 Big deal. When someone solos every spire including NEWS then bring it up. Quote
Blake Posted February 1, 2005 Posted February 1, 2005 I doubt anyone could climb Tupshin peak in 24hrs car to car (without their car being in Stehekin). Quote
