RICHARD_CILLEY Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Looks like it will be the best alpine free climb in the Cascades when it gets sent.Kudos to the F.A.ers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyHarry Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Quite the speculation considering you've only seen a few pictures on the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I would be interested to see what Sols opinion of that would be. Hes done a few of that genre lately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 In its current mossy state, I can think of several free climbs that I'd personally rate as better. One of them is within shouting distance to the left. If it were totally clean, I think it'd be up there with some of the better ones, but a couple of the pitches aren't much to write home about.

el jefe Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 my guess is that mr. cilley's opinion is based on the photo of "colchuck reality" as his specialty is hard cracks ca. 20-25 feet in length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyHarry Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 There's quite a few cracks in the Colchuck area that are just as rad and are a lot closer that haven't seen a free ascent yet despite esposure on websites such as this one.

Tony_Bentley Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I like the idea that it goes clean so you just need some more cams and you've got a stellar crag. CBR could use a couple more routes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 if CBR's gonna get turned into a crag, would somebody please machete a better path through the goddamn slide-alder!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el jefe Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 someone needs to put in a road to colchuck lake, too. the place will never take off as a cragging destination if you expect people to walk that far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyHarry Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Can you toprope it? Â There's be some sick rappels (i.e. first descents) to get there to set up some badass topropes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevino Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 someone needs to put in a road to colchuck lake, too. the place will never take off as a cragging destination if you expect people to walk that far!

pope Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Can you toprope it? Â Nice cheap shot from another small-minded sport wanker. Pretty sure Mr. Cilley has climbed pitches you'll only dream about. I completely respect that he chooses to toprope where pricks like you would pound a line of bolts.

el jefe Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 ooh, dude, watch out, big bad tradman called you a "sport wanker" and a "prick". too bad you ain't got the balls to toprope a route! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
