geordie Posted August 11, 2001 Posted August 11, 2001 Has anyone done this route? Is it "destined to be a classic" as per Fred, or... Quote
TYSON Posted August 11, 2001 Posted August 11, 2001 I did the route about three years ago.I went in early june and the hike in was a easy snow walk with great scenery.It is a fun route that wanders a little.the climb is really just a day trip it would be good to combine it with another climb in the area to make a weekend. I dont think i would run up there just to do Kangaroo without taking the time that the area deserves.I must also say that the rap off is pretty damn cool to start.Hope it helps let me know if you want more detail.

Tod Posted August 11, 2001 Posted August 11, 2001 If this is the route that is 7(?) pitches of 5.7, it is a pretty fun route. Nothing real technical, but not so easy that you get bored. The only thing I didn't like of the route was that the first 1/3 of the 1st pitch was a little rotten (crumbly rock), but we were there early season when it was still wet. Other than that, the rock is beautiful and consistent. Tod Quote
