tivoli_mike Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I haven't been around cc.com much lately, but a really fun alpine sport climb is the Prime Rib of Goat on Goat Wall in Mazama. I'm prepared to be flamed and called an idiot and all the rest for suggesting it, but it is something our guests from Colorado might consider. Eliza, if you e-mail me (I don't read my PM's here) I could send you a copy of the topo. 11 pitches, 5.8'ish, gear list is 14 draws, easy day, wonderful setting. freemanDOTkellerATverizonDOTnet I'll also second the suggestion of CA The scenery is pretty nice , from what it looks like: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyHarry Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 The Methow! that place sucks. Its ugly and prone to horrible natural disasters like flooding, forest fires, and tornadoes. Not to mention, viscious bears and killer dinosaurs. Don't got there. Especially if you're from california or boulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan_forester Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 that reminds me of the time Chaps drove his truck into the Pilchuck. Remember that, Chaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those aren't Mountaineers -- not a single one is wearing gaiters! They're probably Mazamas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlpineK Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 not enough time for trad or anything else this time What does this statement mean? Obviously you have a long day for climbing. There are a lot of Trad climbs you could do in a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliza Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 Wow, theres a lot of info here about this route! Its all quite interesting actually, many thanks. I am coming out to Washington for my brothers wedding, sadly it is not a full climbing road trip. My friend who has never been to Washington is really excited to try this route because it is so long and she has never been on anything this lonng before and also because it is so moderate with the option to rap off whenever. I thought it sounded fun as well, I just had a baby so Im not in tip top form right now and want low stress. last summer I climbed half dome (6 weeks pregnant!) and that was high stess for sure. It does sound like a lot of raps, broiling hot and hard to route find in spots. I think we will still do it but we will have more than one day to climb as well so I will look into the other areas you guys have mentioned!

eliza Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 I said we dont have time for trad. because Im a wimpy trad leader truth be told, much better at sport, and my friend does not lead trad at all. So we are going for the lower stress options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
