Pat Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 The middle part of the route around the towers is great. The last 1000' is just a scrable. great setting on the backside of eldorado. Check out early morning spire and dorado needle while your back there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skisports Posted September 14, 2002 Author Share Posted September 14, 2002 We ended up doing the north east ice route. Â We also did what we think is a FA on the North Ridge of eldorado I couldn't find any beta in books or anything about this route. If I am wrong I would like to know who else has done this route.

cs Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 Dave, You may want to check out alpinedave.com for some north ridge info. And by the way, why did not ever email me back about the torment-forbiden travers? Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshK Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 I was Dave's (skisports) partner on eldorado. Too bad about the N ridge not being FA. It's what I expected, however, as I would be surprised if anything that obvious hadn't been climbed in this area. I am prety surprised it isn't in any published book. It's actually an enjoyable route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
