Klenke, what'd you climb? Or am I just too blind to find the TR?

 

Josh, skis were definitely necessary. We went between Chiwawa Basin and the Chiwawa-Fortress col on foot, and there was definitely a bunch of postholing. The way things are going though, if someone goes to try the route in the next few weeks, I think I would reccomend snowshoes instead.

Guys, how long is the route from the start of the climbing (pitches or feet)?

 

I really like the name you picked. Isn't it fun discussing/arguing about what to call something on the hike out or drive home...shit sometimes it begins on the drive there.

 

what else did you guys see back there??? come on spill the beans. after 7 weekends of failures, luckily finals and board exams are coming up SOON so i can't steal any lines from ya. just want something to get an ulcer over for next year.

mike- the technical part of the route, if totally pitched out would be about 6 60m pitches. the only exception is the 5th (crux) pitch which is only maybe a little more than 30 m.

 

it was really cool though, as beyond chiwawa the terrain gently rolled back into arid desert with not a bump to be seen until Mt. Baker...

 

Well, okay, there were come cool looking lines on the NE face of Fortress.
