AlpineK Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 I spent the weekend with Cman and CrazyJZ climbing basalt on the Tieton. On Saturday we went to Goose Egg mtn. We climbed Comandho spire. The climbing isn't too bad, but the whole place should be renamed Choss Egg mtn. There's a lot of loose shit up there. We knocked off stuff, and we watched another party on Dirty Sanches knock off some huge rocks. On Sunday we were going to do that Lightning route on the Egg, but there was a party ahead of us, and we didn't want to hang out under anyone on that loosy goose. What we ended up doing was going up to the South Fork crag. We found some pretty darn good sporto and trad stuff up there. I doubt the place will ever get popular since it's so far back but I give it It's worth the drive. Quote
cman Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 South fork's a fun crag. it has a nice variety of sport and crack. goose egg was a fun climb but all the looseness just left me waiting for something big to come crashing down. crazyjz tried to get me by setting off a fair sized rock up high but i still made it up.

Already_on_Top Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 I've seen big nature rockfall on Goose Egg. Beware! Quote
Toast Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 The new Tieton guide looks awesome. I'm psyched to go explore Quote
Szyjakowski Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 sorry to break it to you tony, but since you have an instruction manual...you are not really exploring but following a path created by the man.... unneeded sidenote: like minx, I too am in a bad mood today. Quote
Toast Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 I dunno, Shizzy, I probably wouldn't have ventured out to Goose Egg Mountain without Yoder's beta. We drove out there Friday morning, climbed lots of routes at RC and the Oasis, Rode the Lightning on Saturday, and got bit by Ed's rope eating crack at the Bend today. Had to cut off about 12' from a nearly brand new Mammut bi-weave sixty But all in all it was good. In fact, it was great. The weather was perfect, we only ran into one climbing party all weekend, and to top it off, all the routes were new to me. I give Crackima Quote
MCash Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Sounds like a fun trip Tony. How did you like Ride The Lightning? That Ed's Jamb is a sweet climb, bummer on the stuck rope. Quote
bwr Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 This at the Bend, just upriver from Royal Columns. Quote
sobo Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Great pic. What crag are you at? It's Ed's Jam, a solid 5.8 (Tieton-style) hand crack on the right side of The Bend. Quote
