Hal_Burton Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Climb: Hoodie-Wy'east Date of Climb: 6/30/2005 Trip Report: Trying to repent for my corn-walking-down ways I took a ride down Wy'east. Headed up the dog slog one more time and, with tail tucked firmly between legs, downclimbed the ridge to the top of the main face. Previous days had been very warm so I figured set-up snow was thin and would break through with too much softening. Launched a little early, 0730, but below 10,000' was perfect. Skiied down to 9000' then hiked around and down into White River. Skied out the glacier and back to the Palmer. The exit was sketch due to extremely soft conditions around the cracks on the west moraine. Lots of probing. I'd reccomend heading down lower on WRG and finding a climb out with fewer holes in it. First downclimbing section on the ridge. Looking across next traverse from same spot as above. The last downclimbing part links the snow patches from the snow slope center right down and left. Upper part of face. Lower Wy'east Whole deal. Skied upper right till below rocks and into the runnels, then traversed left and headed down pristine corn.
