Crackbolter Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Climb: Terror -North Face Date of Climb: 7/31/2005 Trip Report: Dave, Greg and I went for the big one in the Southern Pickets. The climbing was pretty quick. Only a breif "where did the bivy site go?" after wandering around at twilight looking for it after getting off. We made force bivy from 11 til 4:30 and then walked 100 yards back to bivy. A big thanks to Dave for sharing his goods in time of need. The Southern Pickets from Chopping Block Col A good rest place Sunset photo The access to the Northern side Mustard Glacier Gear Notes: Ice axe, crampons, medium rack Approach Notes: Careful, we got lost going in and coming out and it was my second time up Crescent Creek!

skykilo Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Right arm, Tony. OK if I post a route photo? You could draw what you thought was your line on it. You got lost going up Crescent Creek? INCONCEIVABLE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crackbolter Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 Yeah, whacked all the way down to Goodell and followed the creek until we regained the trail. The dotted line is somewhat accurate. I remember the white bubbly rock being the best section and the gully/chimney being somewhat dissapointing. Felt like mountain 5.7.

goatboy Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 How many days total? What was the original strategy, and what lead to the forced bivy? Nice photos and thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatswaller Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 We had planned for 3 days. First day we hiked into Crescent Creek Basin below the West ridge of Mt.Terror. Second day we hiked over the Ottohorn col and climbed the Noth Face of Terror. Third day we hiked out.We arrived at the big log to cross Terror creek at 4:00 pm with plenty of time get back to the car before dark.Unfortunately,we completely missed the Goodell creek trail and 4 hours later found ourselfs still fighting devils club near Goodell Creek.We ended up spending the night out,camped on Goodell Creek.We finally found the trail the next morning and were back at the car in an hour.Helps to be payin' more attention .
