chucK Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 West Ridge of Lundin is not a very long approach. It is comparable to the Tooth if you go in via Alpental (up the Snoqualmie Mountain trail then cut over). It has a comparable or much shorter approach than just about every climb Alex lists except for Guye, and it's a way shorter drive (from Seattle-Tacoma anyway).Lundin has got some great rock and you can link together/contive many little steps of climbing. Not near as exposed (and newbie impressing) as the Tooth, but avoids the nasty crowding problems. I think Forbidden and Thomson would not be the best choices for a day climb with a newbie! Long approach and non-trivial descent. Unless of course by "day" climb you mean 24 hour epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 ok, only way to answer this is to have them go do spont arete and see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyClimber Posted October 1, 2005 Author Share Posted October 1, 2005 Thanks for the input guys. Lots of good ideas. Now I just need the weather to cooperate and I can actually try them out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMo Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Don't know if you mean a day to be car to car or not but if not Sherpa West Ridge is a nice short route (at the end of a long walk) as is Argonaut from Mountaineer Creek side.
