John Frieh Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Does anybody have a topo for the rap wall at snoqualmie pass? Ratings preferred. If you do post it here or send it to me. TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuMR Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I think Poop and Dwaynus have one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbb Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 From left (uphill) to right, Guru (M9) is the roof climb, then these two: left one is M7- (i hear), and the right one is RZA (M7+). There is an M6 in a shorter vertical shallow chimney with chain anchors above an obvious ledge just right of RZA. Haven't been there since the fall, but I hear there are some more M6/7 type stuff even further right. And then of course there's Ghost Dog (or something like that) which is Strong's M10/11 project at the major wall just above source lake. have fun! routes here are definitely harder when there is no verglass covering all the slabby holds.

Alex Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 There are now 5-6 routes at Rap Wall. I will put it on the list to get a topo of the place and post it. Ghost Dog was redpointed this year, so no longer a project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Frieh Posted November 1, 2005 Author Share Posted November 1, 2005 Rap wall routes are as follows: Far climber's left roof route with fixed cable draw M9. Next route down M7-, next route right M7, next route-(easy project?) fixed rope and anchors but no bolts. Way down and to climber's right under huge overhang- "Ghost dog M11". I still would like to see a topo though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwalling Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 There is a bunch of photos on line of the routes. Search "roger strong" or "rap wall" on google. Looks like Sean Issac has even been there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I know the developer of these routes does not agree with me on this one, but I think the "M7-" (Rza) route is more like M6 or so. I get spanked on some M5+s in the Rockies but can send that one without too much trouble. The route next to it is very tough, though, without a little ice to help out. But whatever...

John Frieh Posted November 1, 2005 Author Share Posted November 1, 2005 Glue stealth rubber to the sides of your crampons and ice picks and smear the slopers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
