Climb: Wallowas-No name falls, Fall Creek Falls

 

Date of Climb: 1/11/2005

 

Trip Report:

Headed out to Enterprise with my friend on business and got two mornings of ice in. TG helped us with beta and we set off in the morning to explore. Headed up Hurricane Creek TH and soon found Fall Creek Falls. Very wet and brittle and looked like it might need a little more time (although it is probably all gone now) so we headed over to the gulley on the left side of the canyon where there was a nice easy line with several WI2 steps finishing it off with a nice WI 3 half-pitch. We soloed all but the last WI 3 section and it went quite fast. We decided to come back the next morning where there were rumors of ice further up the canyon. We got lost, and headed back to play on Fall Crk Falls. Overall a fun quick outing interspersed with work and excellent weather. I will go back as there seems to be a lot of potential. Thanks to Steve and Dean as always!

 

 

 

 

 

Gear Notes:

Two ropes, screws, tools, poons

 

Approach Notes:

easy approach up Hurricane Crk trail - will need 4wd later in season or ski in once trail is blocked - makes the approach 3 miles instead of 3 mins.
