olyclimber Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 (edited) Post your favorite Trip Reports from the CC.Com archive here! No criteria required for this thread, other than that you think the TR was great. However, if you do want to use a criteria, that is great too! Joe's Southwest Trip Sambataro's casual hike in the NW Colin and Marko - Complete Stewie NR in Winter Layton's story of pinchy Will's Steck Salathe Wayne's Mongo Ridge Solo One of many of John's Sawtooth travels that he has shared here Amar's gripping Rainier survival tale Anything by Uncle Tricky Selbacher's Use of Shovel as a Cooking Pot on Cassin Route Jens and Loren on J'burg Edited August 14, 2008 by porter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 The criteria for my list is similar to the one Wayne described. Routes that look good, enjoyable, and not too much chossy death climbing. Also, they must be overlooked or fairly new, and hence not included in Selected Climbs. (Some I have done, others look really good). I'm sure i'm missing several winter climbs. There are some great TRs with good writing, etc that I didn't list because the route itself sounded scary or not too fun. (Navigator Wall and Mox Peak come to mind...) Les Cornes - Springbok Arete Back of Beyond Buttress - SW BC Cathedral Peak - SE Buttress (and Ampitheatre mtn) Mt. Shuksan - NW Arayete South Twin Sister - Mythic Wall Spectre Peak - Haunted Wall White Chuck - East Face Couloir Forbidden - NW Face South Early Winter - The Passenger Gunsight Range - Gunrunner Gunsight Range - West Face ( Free ) ( Mere Mortals Edition ) Gunsight Range - East Face WA Pass - Billygoat Buttress - Easy Getaway Chiwawa Mtn - Intravenous Salish Peak and Roan Wall - South Faces Three Fingers - NE Face Dragontail - Dragons of Eden Asguard Pass Prusik Peak - Solid Gold Snow Creek Wall - Northern Dihedral Direct Baron Falls Tower - Carpal Tunnel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olyclimber Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 Blake writes good TRs.

EWolfe Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I always thought Uncle Tricky's TR's, stories and observations were some of the best written on the forum: Climbing Into the Coffin Climbing, Surfing and Localism TR:SEWS East Buttress & SW Rib Lexington Tower - East Face Til Death Do Us Part Dihedral Here's a link to all the threads he started - there's plenty of other excellent pieces. Uncle Tricky Page It was a real honor to meet Patrick, and I imagine he is doing well over there on the Eastside. Wish he would check back in occasionally.
