bigwallpete Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 MT. Harvey North Ramp 02-21-2005 Peter and Todd Car to Car in 7hr 15mins Gear used. 1 x 60m 8mm rope doubled 3 stubby screws and four shoulder slings plus a couple quickdraws Left North Vancouver at 6am. Started up trail head at 7am. Nothing interesting to say except for follow the signs its that easy. 1 3/4 was taking on the approach to the base of the ramp conditions looked great and following tracks always makes you more confident. From the base it was pretty straight forward with a couple of steps of WI2 and steep firm snow. Thanks for the boot pack. We simul climbed the hole thing placing 3 screws on the ramp and using 4 trees tied off for gear on the upper slopes. Beautiful day, beautiful climb. In better shape then a week ago as it seems to get a bit of sun causing a melt freeze. Descent is steep and with ice lower in the forest, it might be worth strapping back on the spikes.

kchapman Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I am trying to put a trip together with a partner and would like some suggestions for a 3 day trip 4 hours from Vancouver B.C.. WE are both novice types with a one week mountaineering course . Planning to leave April 10th. The avalanche conditions right now are a major concern. Our initial plan was Mt.Baker but with the snow conditions...? Something in Garabaldi Park, Tantalus or Joffre ranges might have to do. Any comments welcome Kchapman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
