Schmitz Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I've climbed gunn once not reaching the summit. on the asent I made it to the cliffs, skirted the cliffs then took the deep rock gully that starts at the bottom left of the photo. this gully gets very steep at times and may be more lenghthy than the alternate route in mind: bypassing the gully skirting further to the right of the picture then climbing up in the tamer sloples. this routle looks doable but there seem to be some cliffs in the way. which rout have you taken? which is the better route?

tread_tramp Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 My notes say we followed a faint track to a basin at 5,000'. Then up a shoulder SW of the peak before dropping into the basin below the peak. This was nine years ago but I don't remember being blocked by cliffs.

Schmitz Posted June 25, 2005 Author Share Posted June 25, 2005 anyone climb this more recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunger Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 climbed it two years ago. as tramp said, follow the track up as best you can--i don't recall any continuous gully travel. pretty sure our route crested the ridge (and dropped into the basin) to the right of the rock dome in the far right of your pic. pretty place up there. there's a satellite peak further right of your pic that's a quick scramble, and holds some aircraft wreckage.

robertm Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Has anyone done GunnSlinger the 5.9 route on Gunn? Is it worth doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMo Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 pretty place up there. there's a satellite peak further right of your pic that's a quick scramble, and holds some aircraft wreckage. That was Seattle City Councilman Wing Luke. Plane vanished early 60's and the wreck was not found for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunger Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 thanks for that info., have wondered re: history. separately, having another look at that picture, I'm not convinced my previous statements are accurate. another dome in the immediate foreground of Gunn might be the one I'm thinking of. if I recall correctly, we followed Beckey's manual and it seemed about right. a v. fun day.
