Uncle_Tricky Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 1) The "last great (summer mostly rock route) problem" in WA's North Cascades? AND/OR 2) A route that has seen only one ascent, that, if the FA was verified as a hoax, would have potential as the classic "last great problem"? (Note: The answers need not necessarily be the same.) Quote

Dru Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 Let's not forget the Renton granite big wall! Quote
Stefan Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 What about the north face of South Hozomeen? Anybody done that one? Looks like about 1500feet. Quote
Dru Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 There is no "north face". There is a north ridge and a steep East face. Quote
klenke Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 No North Face? I guess this is a NNW face to you. Remember to go by true north, not magnetic north. Good estimate there Stefan. Contours show about 1,600 ft. Quote
Stefan Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 that face does not exist. What are you trying to hide? Here it is: http://www.pbase.com/nolock/image/35638076 and another angle: http://www.pbase.com/nolock/image/37116958 and another one. http://www.pbase.com/nolock/image/38017386 Quote

klenke Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 Here is one: The North Face of Skadulgwas Peak--Mt. Higgins' middle summit. 1,300 vertical feet of pure chossy joy? Quote

John Frieh Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 Not necessarily the last great problem but possibly applicable: Get after this thread Mox info OR last great problem West face of Matterhorn Other examples abound. Quote
Slab Mistress Posted July 28, 2022 Posted July 28, 2022 Maybe am dumb and missed it but has anyone done the SE face on Agnes? Always thought it looked enticing(looks could be a honeypot considering how bad the rock elsewhere on the mountain is, 1200ft for the upper half, 2000ft if you could link the bottom portion too. Also the SE ridge of Crowder maybe? Looks like you could take some slaby goodness from valley floor all the way up 6000 ft in length. Quote
JasonG Posted July 28, 2022 Posted July 28, 2022 31 minutes ago, Slab Mistress said: anyone done the SE face on Agnes? No, but it almost did me in about 10 years ago. Spontaneous rockfall came flying off of that face and impacted the couloir all around us, narrowly missing killing at least a couple of us. But I'm sure that was just a bad coincidence! Quote

Props to Dru(l) for dredging up a 15 year old reference from the glory days. Word has it that JensK's "Sweet Granite in Renton" has yet to see an ascent. Or be seen. Quote
