snowball Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 Looking for a partner for Gib Chute or Gib Ledges. Experienced climbers only please... meaning someone with rope skills, crevasse rescue skills, avy beacon use, winter climbing skills, can climb fast, etc. No newbies please. Not looking to guide anyone. My thoughts were to climb Gib Chute or Gib Ledges because of their directness to the summit and their relatively easy approach. On my trip up to camp muir last weekend, i had a close look at Gib Chute. The route appears to be in sweet shape with snow/ice all the way to the chute exit (past Gib Ledges to the upper glacier). The approach to the chute can be done with minimal glacier/crevasse exposure by staying right and close to the ridge. We can minimize the avy danger by waiting for snow settling and climbing while the chute is frozen (this coming week???). If you prefer, we can simul-solo the chute for safety. Down in the the sierras, I eat up couloirs like Gib Chute for lunch. My schedule... I am staying with a girl friend up here in Kirkland (seattle-area) until March 18. My schedule is 100% open. Presently killing time runing in the rain and skiing in Snoqualime waiting for the next weather window. When winter ends, i am leaving town. I might be up for climbing Mt Hood in the meantime... Shoot me a PM if interested! Quote
