cheamclimber Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Post your favorite climb and your dream climbs here! My favorite climb is probably the East Ridge of Welch Peak because it is fun and is a good warm-up to start the season with. My dream climbs are:Local-NW face of Cheam Peak International-Matterhorn or Eiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genepires Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 dream climb - west face of mount huntington favorite climb? too many seperate types of climbing to come up with one that rules over all. Probably the climb that is having the most fun. Here is a feeble attempt. Ice - Polar circus is way up on the list. alpine ice - north face mt fay or north ridge of bakerhorn alpine rock - Slesse. galcier travel - Easton or the coleman/deming glacier on the mighty bakerhorn. cragging - any day spent in the city of rocks aid - spaceshot bouldering - too old for bouldering. v-0 in the gym.

dberdinka Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 And I was there for all 6 of them Gene. I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Fav climbs? Yesterday's news. Always thinking about the next climb! Dream climbs? Oh yeah, there's so many! Beligerence and the South African Route on Paine currently keep me up at night. And that whole range of untouched granite splitters in an idyllic Shangri La untouched by western influence. I keep dreaming about that place. Oh yeah, and the 5.11a bullet holes at Rocky Butte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weekend_Climberz Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I surprised no one has said that there dream/favorite climb is the one having the most fun. Anyway, Zebra Zion is on the to do list as well as NE Ridge of Bug, and the Beckey-Chouinard on South Howser. The FNR of Stuie was fun, though I'd probably bring a puffy jacket next time I did it.

Tony_Bentley Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 A ski descent of Reboubt and Spikard is high on the list. A circumnav of Torres del Paine I also dream of another 5.10 grade IV in the North Cascades. Ideally on Skagit Gneiss and relatively solid and in a superb setting. I'm not opposed to granite nunatuks either. I also dream of a ski descent on Mt Index.....We can dream right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric8 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 If its a dream, dream big The moonflower buttress North pillar of Fitzroy Trango tower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 When I was young and naive I had this dream that one day I would get a phone call from a legend and get to climb with my hero, Fred Beckey. He'd have some sick granite spires from his black book to investigate, we'd send, and it would be like the passing of the Olympic torch, or getting tapped on the shoulders with Arthur's sword and invited to sit at the Round Table. So all I have to say is be careful what you wish for cause you might get it. WHAT? HOWS DA WEDDER? KNOW ANY HOT GIRLS UP THERE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony_Bentley Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Credit- http://www.metoliusclimbing.com/article_cordes_trango.htm# Eric you should go get this. From what Josh said, it sounds like his hardest climb to date. 7000' of rock and ice with no possibility of retreat. Sounds like your deal buddy.

cheamclimber Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 that looks sweet, what mountain is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCash Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I've always been captivated by The Infinite Spur. I loved the tale from the first ascent and remember when Steve House and partner did it in a day. Pictures of the route including that famous one in the guidebook High Alaska, and recent ones by Joe Puryear only increased my intrigue. I'll probably never climb it, but it is sure nice to dream.

ken4ord Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Right now my dream climbs are finding some routes in the Ruwenzori's in Uganda, checking out Poi in northern Kenya (600m+ wall climbing), and getting down to Malawi to climb the 1700m standard on Mt. Mulange. A long time standard dream climb is to go and climb Cassin on Denali. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
