Don_Serl Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Climb: Yak Peak-Yak Check Date of Climb: 6/24/2006 Trip Report: Rob Nugent and I climbed Yak Check on Saturday, looking for lotsa alpine rock as a day trip. As per previous posting, the route is (almost completely) dry. We were 5 hrs en route, and 8 hrs car-to-car. And the climb is just as good as I remember it. So where was everybody? We caught and passed a couple (Park Rangers from Manning), but there was no one else on the peak all day. Altho there were tracks on the snow below and above from (maybe?) the previous day. Cheers, Don Gear Notes: 10 nuts. 10 cams. 4 tricams. a dozen draws n slings. half-dozen free biners. Approach Notes: 10 mins car-park to trail, then 25 mins to rock. Quote
jordop Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 How many times have you done Yak, Don? I think we should get a plaque made or something Quote
Don_Serl Posted June 28, 2006 Author Posted June 28, 2006 wasn't it kinda hot on the south face? actually, not bad. didn't even leave town super-early (6 a.m.), but we enjoyed a pleasant breeze most of the day - it almost always blows thru that gap. cheers, don Quote
Don_Serl Posted June 28, 2006 Author Posted June 28, 2006 (edited) How many times have you done Yak, Don? I think we should get a plaque made or something i think that's about 9 or 10: Madness once, Yak Crack twice, Reality Check twice, Yak Check 4 (or 5?) times. i gotta get up there more often... cheers, don Edited June 28, 2006 by Don_Serl Quote

jordop Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 I found a red TCU at the base of Yak last year and promptly ran into its owner on the Ultimate Evrything two weeks later Quote
bstach Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 That was my red cam - had black and yellow tape on it, right? I fumbled it pretty high up...so I hope your not using it. :-( Quote
