scot'teryx Posted February 17, 2002 Posted February 17, 2002 FYI: Saw this on our way back from Chair Peak on Thursday (2/14), but could not top rope and I would not lead it - still a newbie [ 02-16-2002: Message edited by: scot'teryx ] [ 02-16-2002: Message edited by: scot'teryx ] Quote
mikeadam Posted February 17, 2002 Posted February 17, 2002 That climb forms better (more exposed ice) in low snow years and sits at the bottom of a long slide path. The belayers stance is in a terrain trap. Quote
dbb Posted February 17, 2002 Posted February 17, 2002 The infamous kiddy cliff. Climb here long enough and you will get avalanched! eh, mike? You can top rope it, just walk around on climbers right and traverse scary loose snow to the normal anchors above and left of the climb. Last december that route was a good 40 meters long to the belay! Quote
specialed Posted February 18, 2002 Posted February 18, 2002 Wow dude that looks way tits. I was going to go to Golden next week to climb ice but I think I'll go there instead. That things huge. I really don't know understand why people don't consider Washington and ice climbing destication after seeing that picture. And the coolest thing about it is there was way more ice than snow in that picture. Dude you are sooo RAD!!! Quote
mikeadam Posted February 18, 2002 Posted February 18, 2002 Exactly, this year that thing is crying to be hucked on skis. The snow is piled all the way up to the exit at the top of the pitch. DBB, yeah we were sort of foolish to be there in a major snowstorm, but it made for a good tale afterwards. Quote
