scottgg Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Ok, so what are ya'll planning for the spring/summer. Don't worry, secret projects need not be included. As for me, I'd like to do: North Face Graybeard East Face Cutthroat Backbone Ridge on Dragontail Stuart Glacier Couloir Complete North Ridge Stuart South Face Prusik Index Peaks Traverse Torment Forbidden Traverse (I think everyone has this on their list) and a healthy link-up of some Snowcreek Wall routes. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottgg Posted April 2, 2006 Author Share Posted April 2, 2006 the Torment-Forbidden is so popular because: Â -its IV/V, though not super-technical -nice exposure and awsome position in the North Cascades -its feasible as a day trip -Jim Nelson lists it as his favorite climb, and that after 30+ years in the Cascades. -and hype Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figger_Eight Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 The blue route at the gym. Hopefully before they take it down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCash Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Some cool traverses: Â Torment - Forbidden Vienesse - Clarke Ensawkwatch Enchainment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyHarry Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I'd like to know what makes this traverse so special? Â Because ever since this route has become cool, its become one of the Cascade's premier place to booty expensive runners and fancy 'biners.

slaphappy Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 unlike last years frequent encounters, this spring has remained "tick" free... Â - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderfour Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 F_ck tick lists. Everytime I make a god-d_mned tick list I don't get a d_mn thing ticked off. Â This summer, I'm gonna climb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archenemy Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 ut oh, hope you didn't just jinx yourself. Â This summer, I am going to hike rather than just make approaches. The hard part (and my goal) is not to gripe the whole way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWolfe Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 More alpine, less cragging. Although cragging early in the year, some new routes at Lost Wall, 11worth trips, a 4-5 day Smith trip in Late April, summer trips to Squam/Index/NC, then get after the big stuff! W00t!

willstrickland Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Grayling in the Chena and Delta Clearwater, pike in Minto flats, rainbows in upper Montana and Peter's creeks, kings in the Kenai, chum in the Salcha, and silvers in the Delta Clearwater. Â Then packing all my junk into the Soob and heading south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
