Trip: Edge Peak - White Dyke

 

Date: 8/24/2007

 

Trip Report:

did the white dyke route up edge a few days ago. there's not much to tell, except that i saw a mtn goat. so i'll just post pics. in total, it was probably 6000' elev gain from the trailhead, and just over 20 kms round trip.

enjoy...

Gear Notes:

one 30m rope for rappel if descending via Golden Ears/ west canyon trail.

 

Approach Notes:

west canyon trail to alder flats. follow creek bed up until possible to take left hand branch near top. follow this to base of dyke.

Nice TR and picts. How hard is the crux? how would the route be without rockshoes?

matt

crux is 4th. and i did the whole route in approach shoes, no probs.

haha sorry for the short answer, i was late for an appointment!!

 

so the bottom of the Dyke itself, would be considered 4th, and easily doable w/out ropes, wet or dry (rock, not ropes):grin:

the crux of the whole route, if one were to summit Edge, would be the little 4th section passing the large chockstone in the gully as you start up the summit, after the col. but it's easily climbed/ downclimbed. if you don't feel comfortable downclimbing this section, there was rap slings around a tree to get thru this section.

 

this pic shows the dyke from the bottom, before we started up
