TrogdortheBurninator Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 Anybody have a good topo for the N. Face of burgundy. I hear the becky topo is flawed, and nelson is basically non existant. I heard Burdo had a good one, but it is out of print. PM if you have one you can scan/photo. Quote
layton Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 go up from the col for 4 pitches. very very straightforeward. the nelson guide has gotten folks up, you should be fine. bring 2 ropes Quote
goatboy Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 I did it with a single 60 M rope and it was straightforward. The only tricky part is at the VERY END -- go far to the right, or West, on Burgundy Ledge) passing below several obvious wide cracks, squeeze chimneys, and fixed anchors above (note these, as they will be the rap route) until you're practically over the west face, then follow thin cracks (5.8) to the summit ridge.
