AaronB Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 I need a partner for Sunset AmpHC this Weekend. Sat/Sun/Mon I'm open to other options as well. Quote
skykilo Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 FYI: The Puyallup Glacier all up in the Amphitheater looks like God took a sledghammer to it recently. Here's a pic from last Tuesday: There must be some way through there, but it looks like a mess. Good luck! Quote
Jens Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 That' a pretty unique pattern. Perhaps the underlying rock/choss topography falls away and down like that? On A glacier on granitic bedrock it would be way less likely to look like that. Quote
skykilo Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Maybe the volcano is active under there? I don't know, but Hannah and I both thought it looked a lot worse than last year. But I'd imagine there must still be a way through it. That's a fun climb, too. Quote
Bug Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 It looks easily passable. Just bring lots of aluminum ladders adn those springy things for your feet. Seriously, I see several routes throught there. But doesn't the route enter the chute below the glacier in the foreground anyway? Quote
skykilo Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 The route enters the S.Amp.C. left of the upper part of your purple line, if I'm not mistaken. "There must be a way through there," Certainly lots of fun to be had up there, regardless. Quote
