Pat Posted July 31, 2002 Posted July 31, 2002 We were planning on heading in to do the east face of gunsight. Have heard that there was a large rockfall on the face. Does anyone have any beta on what this did to the route and its difficulty. Quote
robertm Posted July 31, 2002 Posted July 31, 2002 Pat, the route really doesn't exist anymore. What is left is loose and fairly dangerous. Super sharp blocks and large flakes everywhere. It looked like you might be able to forge a new E. Face route to the right of the Skoog route but it looked harder. We bailed from the jumble on a scary rappel into the south notch gully and climbed some loose stuff in a gully up to the notch. We then climbed some fantastic featured granite (albiet a bit licheny) up to the E. ridge (5.7/5.8) where the Skoog route joined. From there it is a awesome exposed 5.6 pitch to the summit of the main peak. There is other stuff to do back there but probably not worth the approach unless you do some linkups (Dome, Sinister, G-sight, Agnes)etc. Quote
Guest Posted August 9, 2002 Posted August 9, 2002 Has anyone seen or been on the West Face? Is it still the awesome route that all the books say? Quote
mattp Posted August 9, 2002 Posted August 9, 2002 Anybody who is bored at work ever climbed Agnes? It was VERY imipressive when I viewed it from the air a couple of years ago. Quote
