Stefan Posted June 26, 2001 Posted June 26, 2001 If rapping down the SW Couloir of Goode, is it possible with one or should I bring two ropes for the rappel? Quote
joe_catellani Posted June 26, 2001 Posted June 26, 2001 one rope is enough. if you downclimb a fair amount only 2 raps necessary Quote
mattp Posted June 26, 2001 Posted June 26, 2001 Trevor - The NE Buttress route is long, but technically very easy, and I know several parties, including myself, who have descended the same way to avoid having to carry over the top of the mountain. It makes a reasonable three day outing, and is doable in two. The campsite on the alp slope below the glacier is *****. - mattp Quote
wotan_of_ballard Posted June 27, 2001 Posted June 27, 2001 a cool way to do NE Butt of Goode w/o a carryover is to bivy below the butt at timberline, descend via SW couloir, contour west side of mtn to Goode-Storm King col, and descend from there to your bivy. allow equal time from summit to bivy as vice versa. there are likely to be schrund(s) and the descent is not trivial Quote
Trevor Posted June 27, 2001 Posted June 27, 2001 Stefan or any one have beta on the route in the Select book on Mt. Goode's long, I think north buttress?
