Norman_Clyde Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 I believe that Peter Croft free soloed them all in one day, starting with Stuart N. ridge and proceeding eastward. He probably stopped at Little Annapurna but I'm not sure. Hard to top that one, but a repeat would certainly be noteworthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarred_Jackman Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 Is this the Stuart Range traverse you're talking about? I am curious as to which peaks are included in this, and how long it usually takes people. I looked at what I thought was the whole traverse and it doesn't seem as though it should take more than two days if you do Stuart by the west ridge and not the north. Info appreciated!

PDXClimber Posted August 18, 2002 Author Share Posted August 18, 2002 Looking through some topos of Enchantment area it looks like it might be feasible to do a multi-day linkup of several climbs in the area (Dragontail, Prusik, Mole, Snow Creek Wall) in a counterclockwise loop. Anybody ever do something similar? Any words of advice or wisdom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertm Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 With a early start it should be no problem for you to do Colchuck, Dragontail, Prussik and then descend and do outerspace or orbit and then down to snowlakes trailhead. You will have to either bike back up to Stuart lake trailhead or hitch a ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter_Burt Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 I vaguely remember that Croft finished the enchainment with Prussik Pk. I know he did Stuart N. Ridge, Sherpa, Colchuck, Dragontail, Prussik. Anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
