Skisports Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 bro have you ever seen anyone ski washington before I was thinking about doing some of those chutes some time but I just hate carrying my skis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman_Clyde Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 Deception is usually considered a 2 day affair because of a 6 mile approach to Royal Basin, but if you move fast you could do it in one long day (no longer than for Constance or the Brothers).

rollo Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 OW: I've scoped the north side routes on Washington. Some of em look really fun. Only bad part is the bushwack in, but this early in the season it shouldn't be too bad. Let me know how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_White Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 Anyone been on the Northside routes on Washington? I'm contemplating the Great Groove for Sunday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboclimber Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Turn_one, the Jefferson Pass trail to Mnt Washington was very interesting. Nice view from the ridge. Next time on Washington I'll do the other trail head. I would like to go back to Jefferon Pass later in the summer with more rope, pro and and earlier start. I would like to crack a route up there. Later dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turn_one Posted June 3, 2002 Author Share Posted June 3, 2002 yeah robo, sure was cool. maybe the better option for the day would have been descending into the snowfield to the left and up the chute from there, cause i know the route at least originates along that ridge. if you're taking another stab, let me know, i'll join you. what do you have planned for the year?? did you have a in hoodsport?? later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
