dberdinka Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 So holy s!#t, two years ago these images were posted. Did anyone ever get on this stuff? It looks sweet! Pray for a good freeze-thaw cycle later this winter.... Here are the orginal posts. Phils Original Post with Photos Crackbolters lil bitchfest Quote
Alex Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 the last time i tried to go in (last winter), the road was washed out in the valley bottom Quote
mattp Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 The Bedal townsite isn't all that far from the trailhead, but it sure would be nice if they'd fix the roads up there. I have no idea if the ice shown here is unusuall for that face or not - anybody have pictures from other years? Quote
JayB Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 I was able to drive to the Bedal Trailhead this July. No Problems. Quote
JayB Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Here it is in the Summer: My uneducated guess would place the ice in the photo at the base of the smaller dihedral/gulley on the about 1/3 of the way in from the right margin of the photo.... Quote
Dru Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 that doesn't look like the west side in that photo? Quote
dberdinka Posted January 14, 2005 Author Posted January 14, 2005 JayB has confused Sloan Peak with White Chuck Mountain. Or maybe he's trying to confuse you. Regardless he's describing the West Coulior route (II 5.7) which might also be a decent winters outing. Quote
JayB Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Darren's first hypothesis is correct. Too funny. I am sure there's a real photo of the West Face of Sloan floating out there somewhere. Quote
Alex Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 This is the west face of Sloan in Summer If you havent been there up close and personal, you're in for some intimidation. Quote
Ade Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 If you havent been there up close and personal, you're in for some intimidation. Why ?! Quote
DPS Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 If you havent been there up close and personal, you're in for some intimidation. Why ?! The goats that hang out there. They have horns. Quote
