mashman Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 Has anyone scoped out the rock along the creek below the falls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_Hutchinson Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 I scoped it, but did not climb. It's a little down my to-do list, but I am very interested in climbing on the main large wall. It looks awesome, but not even the locals on Hood I know know anything about it. I saw only one pin on the largest wall. Let me know if you learn anything more about climbing there.

Big_Wave_Dave Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 Wayne1112 mentioned a few years back he'd scoped it also. Might want to get ahold of him. If anyone knows about developing chossy Oregon crags it'd be him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 Funny you should mention that.......... It seems I skied in ther with the Honorable Sorcerer named Tim and we proceded to do the 1st ascent of a killer M3 or so mixed kill pitch. It can be t.r.'ed, but I found it to be a serious lead. It can be found to the left of the falls 100' or so. Bolt city on the potential of the main wall. mediocre rock? You really need to ask Tim Olson yourself.

nonanon Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 I tried that once. We skied in there through knee-deep snow and climbed rotten rime on the left side of the falls. I chickened-out about halfway up, threw a sling around a tree and lowered off. We messed around on toprope for awhile until some shutterbug on snowshoes following our trench started giving us a hard time for “ruining” the ice! At one time, I mentioned the wall in question to his Timness. I can’t remember exactly what he said about it, but he wasn’t wildly enthusiastic.

Doug_Hutchinson Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 The rock near the Falls looks like moss-covered choss. However, the large wall about 1/2-mile down the trail from the falls (with the huge talus apron) looks really nice. No moss but maybe a few token loose rocks for fun. Not a place to look for ice, but a potential great day crag (with an hour approach). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
