Trip: Hyalite Canyon - Respnsible Family Men 60m WI5

 

Date: 11/29/2008

 

Trip Report:

Two years ago I hiked out to Responsible feeling pretty dialed and subsequently failed to send, and left feeling dejected. This winter is my last as a student and my last being a resident of Bozeman, America and as such I have a few routes that I need to check off in Bozeman and Cody before I leave.

 

On Saturday, Pete Redman and Josh Gage and I headed out to the Dribbles Area with the intent of climbing Responsible Family Men. This was going to be my 9th day on the tools this year and I was just twitching with the possibility of climbing some sick steep ice and I had a bit of some revenge to enact.

 

We approached via the avy gulch and traversed over two bowls to reach the Responsible gully.

Climbed the lookers left side start to the ice.

 

The approach up avalanche gulch.

 

 

The Stoke:

 

 

 

 

Gear Notes:

Various screws

2-3 Knifeblades

0 or 00 tcu for belay

double ropes and a double length sling for the last rock piece if you plan on doing it in one pitch.

 

 

Approach Notes:

Go to Dribbles,hike north to the fist pitch of Avalanche Gulch. Climb to last major ledge system before headwall.

Nice pics. That's a fun climb in a spectacular setting. It looks a lot thinner than when I climbed it. Did you climb any of the mixed pitches to the top?
