Flying_Ned Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 Been long considering a west approach from Trapper Pass (described as North Peak route 3 in the 3rd edition). I'll be going up there to recon the route to the ridge as a soon as the road melts out. Just wondering if anyone has been on North Ridge 3 or dropped into the Great Basin from this approach. Thanks.

greywolf Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 The new climbers guide will be out in about a month with a greatly improved writeup on this route. I was on the 1970 climb and quite familiar with the 10hours up and 10 down. Probably alittle better on the approach now tho. Quote
Macson Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 Amazon emailed yesterday that the 4th edition shipped. Quote
OlympicMtnBoy Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 What? Why can't I find it on Amazon? They only list the old one when I look. Post a URL for me. :-) Quote
OlympicMtnBoy Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 Doh, found it. Had to look for Olympic Mountains: A Climbing Guide. Quote
Macson Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 Actually, I just received it. Haven't had much of a chance to look it over, but the new sport climbing section looks pretty nice. Good work OMR! Quote
CPOly Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 I second that. I just got it today but haven't had much time to go over it. Looks pretty sweet though! Nice work OMR. Quote
ForrestCL Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 Here is a shot of the brothers from the east just beyond trap pass. Photo was taken on April 22, 2006. The road is blocked by a fairly large fallen tree about 5 miles before the pass. Â Quote
bremerton_john Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 Nice pic ForrestCL. Were you up there just hiking the forest road, or on your way to someplace in particular? Quote
magellan Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 Ned, if you go please report back here what you find. Quote
ForrestCL Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 I've been up there a few times this year cross-country skiing up the road. Just checking out the area and possible routes to do. Good views of Mt. Washington, Constance, and the Brothers. Quote
bremerton_john Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 OK. It's been suggested before that Trap Pass is a potential way in to do St. Peter's Dome. That piece of rock is a tough little bugger to get to. Quote
