pdawg Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Stumbling back along the South Face of Prusik, my partner and I noticed a number of stellar lines on the lower left face. Though I can't believe an FA would still be possible there, I have to ask. Have all those lines been done? If they have been, is there a definitive listing somewhere? thanks. Quote
Dannible Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 There are a lot of cracks on that face, but my guess is that with how popular it is pretty much all of them have been climbed by people who are off route and people who don't care about reporting routes. We got off route for a pitch or two last year and found pins and bolts where there is no known route. Quote
pdawg Posted July 31, 2007 Author Posted July 31, 2007 I assumed as much. There couldn't be anything left unclimbed, given its location, but I had to ask. Any ideas of where variations/off route experiences might be logged? Some of those cracks looked incredible! Quote
kevbone Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 There are some nice arêtes that need to be bolted! Quote
Alpinfox Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 There are some nice arêtes that need to be bolted! Stay in Oregon you asshat. Quote
Dannible Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Any ideas of where variations/off route experiences might be logged? Some of those cracks looked incredible! Just go up there and give them a shot. Bring some extra nuts if you're worried that you'll have to bail. Quote
wayne Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 I did a 5.11b route through the roof. Solid Gold is a great climb. Quote
plexus Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 It's wilderness area, meaning it's illegal to bolt. Quote
pink Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 There are some nice arêtes that need to be bolted! nice troll kevbone Quote
joblo7 Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 It's wilderness area, meaning it's illegal to bolt. yeaaaaaaaah! Quote
pdawg Posted August 1, 2007 Author Posted August 1, 2007 Thanks for the advice, even the obvious stuff. i suppose I wasn't specific enough with my question. Is there a definitive guide to the Enchantments? More to the point, if I'm looking for a guide to Cascade rock( not snow and ice routes) which guide do you suggest? The venerable Beckey? Or something more specialized? BTW, Kevbone, it's good to see that you haven't lost any of your mad agent provocateur skills. Quote
Off_White Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 It's wilderness area, meaning it's illegal to bolt. No, it means it's illegal to power bolt. Irrelevant spray anyway. RE guidebooks: brown Beckey is pretty much it, though Nelson's selected has a route or two in it. Scour the TR's here too, as good an info source as any. Quote
pdawg Posted August 1, 2007 Author Posted August 1, 2007 thanks to all. Now all I have to do is get a two day bivvy up there... Quote
