Trip: Goose Egg Mountain - Gangsta Rap

 

Date: 10/19/2008

 

Trip Report:

Though the rock quality might not be what you would find at your average local cragg, Goose Egg Mountain continues to hold my interest. I first became aware of the steep S. Face in my begining yars of climbing, but fears of loose rock and dangerous runnouts kept me away, until now. "You would have to have a death wish to venture out on those walls," I would be told. But Joe Puryear et al. has put a lot of work in to establishing some mighty god damn fun routes. I don't know of any other place in Washington with such a high concentration of Grade III climbs with a 10 minute approach off the road. The loose rock warnings and PG/R climbing attached to many of the routes definatly make us climbers pause, but after this being my third route on the wall, as I have said before, "It really wasen't all that bad." It was damn fun.

"The formula conversion between Fahrenheit and Celsius is given below:

 

F = 9/5*C + 32

 

To find the temperature both scales are equal we can use another equation and combine it with this previous equation. The equation is simply F = C. Plug in for F or C and solve. Both cases are shown below:

 

C = 9/5*C + 32

C - 9/5*C = 32

-4/5*C = 32

C = (-32*5)/4 = -40

 

 

F = 9/5*F + 32

F - 9/5*F = 32

-4/5*F = 32

F = (-32*5)/4 = -40

 

Thus, at the cold temperature of negative 40, this temperature is the same on both the Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales. "
