powderhound Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Trip: Cody, WY - Mean Green Date: 2/3/2007 Trip Report: Well since both of my buddies and I would rather be climbing some sweet ice then watching some dumb fat guys run around a field we headed off to the great south fork road. We decided to climb "Mean Green" which according to JoJo is one of the best routes in North America, and after this weekend I would have to agree. Pitch 1 & 2 Climb WI3 for 40M to a ledge belay from V-threads or screws Climb short WI4 to a tree belay on your left. Pitch 3 Climb WI4 to screw/ V-thread belay Pitch 4 Climb WI5 pillar to screw/tree belay or tree up and right Upper Slabs WI3 Reason we did not go up there!!! Happy Signs from nearby ranchers. DAY TWO (Superbowl Sunday) Two Much Goose WI5 Wind on the way back Gear Notes: The normal ice rack Approach Notes: Bring tennis shoes to save your feet, and because there is not much snow. Quote
