Climb: Chair Peak-NE Buttress - Attempt

 

Date of Climb: 2/12/2006

 

Trip Report:

With all the trips going up to Chair Peak and the photos showing that the ice was well formed I decided to make a trip up to check it out for myself. Amazing what a few days will do to an eastern facing slope such as this.

 

Here's the report

 

Gear Notes:

ice screws

stoppers #3-9

pink tri-cam

red tri-cam

 

Approach Notes:

Easily followed boot pack

Shoulda went for the 'crampon-free' ascent. That woulda been $money$.

A party of three climbed NE Butt today. PM Fromage, who knows them, if you want to hear from them what it was like.
