Dr_Crash Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Hi, Has anyone recent beta on Observation Rock, approach and climb? We're going to climb it this weekend and would appreciate any up to date information. Thanks! drC Quote
Norman_Clyde Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 I was up at Spray Park on 8/29, at which time it appeared that the Flett was still snow covered for the most part. Regarding the approach, snow patches begin at the WT high point around 6400 feet. This is probably the easiest place to begin off-trail travel, though I've never hiked to Observation Rock so don't know if there is a better way. The approach certainly looks straightforward from the trail. Quote
Hoosierdaddy Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) Some people just did it on Monday the 27th and posted this trip report over at nwhikers. Edited September 1, 2007 by Hoosierdaddy Quote
Serenity Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 I believe they are inquiring about the short moderate alpine ice face that gets done as a fall/late summer ice climb. Quote
catbirdseat Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 Yves, where the hell you been? It's been a year since we've heard from you! Quote
XXX Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 I believe they are inquiring about the short moderate alpine ice face that gets done as a fall/late summer ice climb. Loved the Patton video, and I found this great quote on your site for all the people on CC.com lol Hey! If you're one of those tug-job liberals who linked in here from Cascadeclimbers, I just wanted to remind you that you are a worthless slag, and you should probably throw yourself off a mountain. I know, I know. You guys all think you're so elevated in your thinking processes, and you have it all figured out, and you're soooooo much better than everyone. Well, here's a newsflash. You're not. You routinely sound like a bunch of petulant idiot children, and you demonstrate it by making complete fools out of yourself online everyday. Your politics, especially your's Doug_The_TugJob, sound so far to the left that it's as stupid as the Neocons. Maybe even worse, because you're all just ineffectual nothings, who count for nothing. Maybe you could all just stay stoned, marginally employed, and drift around in the woods out of sight? That would be good. I'm sure that girl on youtube probably just got nervous as hell, and totally choked. Yeah, it was one of the worst demonstrations of idiocy I have ever seen. So what? In all honesty I think it's entertainment for your retards (especially MaryLou) to pass judgment on everyone, and everything, from your self righteous perch. Anyway, I know that in reality it's probably something like 25 folks over there who are just 180 degrees sideways mental, so I'm not trying to paint the lot, just those tourons who continue to propagate over there in a circle jerk of champions.

Dr_Crash Posted September 4, 2007 Author Posted September 4, 2007 (edited) Yves, where the hell you been? It's been a year since we've heard from you! It's been a year since I've had a pretty nice wrist surgery, misplaced my rock shoes, started drinking cosmos... OMG. Yes I've been away. You guys are still having drinks on a regular basis? I'd love to come and reconnect. Oh and the climb was fun. And the trail heinous. Especially on the way back, of course (and that descent through steep and sh** ty scree instead of the normal way didn't help). drC Edited September 4, 2007 by Dr_Crash Quote
fenderfour Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Did you say "drinking cosmos"? And you call yourself a climber... Quote
