Trip: Chair Peak - NE Buttress

 

Date: 1/25/2009

 

Trip Report:

Seemingly half of Seattle and all of Everett convereged on the NE Buttress on Sunday. Conditons on the buttress were the easiest I have yet seen with good neve and decent ice and enough exposed rock to offer reliable pro.

 

Although conditions were ripe for a goat rodeo of an unprecedented scale every one got along and things worked out pretty well as a collegiate atmosphere prevailed.

 

Gear Notes:

4 ice screws, mostly shorties, couple kb/bugaboo pins, few small-medium nuts, cams .5, .75, 1.

 

Approach Notes:

No floatation necessary - easy peasy.

Thakns for the beta; I would have climbed the Tooth if you had not posted your trip report.

 

A pair of climbers walked under the NF then walked back to the NE buttress. I suspect all parties climbed the NE Butt, but I could be mistaken.
