ScottP Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 This sounds pretty normal for a route on a peak. "Ya gotta do what ya gotta do." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleblebleb Posted July 11, 2002 Author Share Posted July 11, 2002 The rap stations from the summit down the gully on the western side of Cutthroat didn't give me that warm happy feeling... The first two were OK. The third consists of tied runners that are threaded through a cavity behind a flake. The flake is attached above and below the cavity but isn't confidence-inspiring. The only possible backups (not completely independent of the flake) are tiny cams (we didn't have any) or a pink tricam. The fourth and fifth stations are small-to-medium, stunted trees - and they're really, really, really dead. We climbed the South Buttress and would probably have rapped the route if we'd known this beforehand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
