Cpt.Caveman Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 Actually Squampton is hardly the mountains. Also I dont know if I will even make it there. MY plans are closer to the border and east more. Quote

timi Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 Thanks for the better topo of the Ultimate Everything, the one I've got is the saddest thing I've ever seen. I was expecting to get lost looking for it. Gonna go do it on Sat.. Rock on is great. It's one of the funnest climbes I've ever done, if it's not wet. The it's french free all the way... Quote
Dru Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 the fern/dru start which traverses 5 pitches of dirt and trees from kashmir wall to join in at the top of pitch 2 on the topo, is not recommended unless you are a botanist. Quote
thelawgoddess Posted August 29, 2002 Author Posted August 29, 2002 thanks for the topo! (i've been wondering about that route!) Quote
fern Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 however the variation finish which traverses far left at the start of the sixth pitch and continues up blueberry and mud choked chimmenies sports ONE thrilling move of 5.10 lichen slab. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Quote

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Dont forget to gaze in awe at the hibachi on the 12th pitch of the variation which was carried up to center summit sometime in the era of stubby beer bottles and then thrown from the top!

timi Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 It's raining in Squish right now, so heads up. It's that time of year... it might be fine for the weekend, but if you're bent on climbing just bring the aid gear, who cares about the rain. Quote
thelawgoddess Posted August 29, 2002 Author Posted August 29, 2002 yeah; after checking the forecast this morning i figured i might as well stay home. seattle has a better chance of being dry sunday/monday ... for once. gotta learn how to aid climb one of these days! Quote

glacier_dup1 Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 I'll be up there this weekend with a couple of friends - but the weather forecast currently looks pretty spotty for doing long route - was looking forward to Sq. Buttress or Ultimate Everything. Hey, LG, did you make the Spankers show? I got there for the 2nd half. Quote
texplorer Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 Sless-E, Sless-E, Sless-E I can hardly wait. Do you ever get so worked up your slobbering at the mouth. Probably not ya sporty wankers. Breakin the law, breakin the law Quote

(and do you really kill people for pay?) trask, i do definitely want to learn some aid climbing, but first i want to learn how to solo lead. Quote

fixedPin Posted August 31, 2002 Posted August 31, 2002 Anybody ever stop in at Seal Cove on the way up or back from Squish? Just spent a couple of days up there (weather was fine - few minutes of rain, then cleared.) Spent yesterday afternoon at Seal Cove for some cragging. Five nice face climbs (bolted with only very small rack needed) perched right above the ocean. Sun, surf, seals, swimming, and climbs with easy grades. What more could one want? Quote
timi Posted September 2, 2002 Posted September 2, 2002 The Ultimate Everything is hella cool. Long day of climbing though. Tried it w/ snake to memorial crack as the intro, good 17 pitches. It was fun and the weather has been awsome. Quote
Crack Posted September 2, 2002 Posted September 2, 2002 the Ultimate Everything could be renamed a Little Bit of Everything...still a nice way to bag a lot of friendly graded pitches with some good moves -the .10b traverse pitch at the end is a total go, super fun with decent pro and positive holds. definitely a nice option to the crowds bottlenecked on the short crux of the face climb. way, way worth it: Backsack .8 -a variation on P2 of Sunshine Chimney Centre at the Campground Wall. 5 minutes in flip flops had us at the base of some truly fun climbing in a way cool setting. getting colder at nights, campground traffic seems like it's starting to thin out... Quote
Crackhead Posted September 3, 2002 Posted September 3, 2002 The ultimate everything is a fun line up the chief. never super hard, never exposed... just a fun line. Good training for long routes in Yosemite... reminds me a little of the royal arches. Check out seal cove too, some cool shit. a fun traverse for sure. Quote
dr._jay Posted September 3, 2002 Posted September 3, 2002 the route has been getting lots of attention lately, and along with it plenty of traffic. we spent as much time waiting around as we did climbing. the route is a long meandering mostly bolted line with a few gear placements, short pitches and some scattered fun moves, but far from the instant classic i was led to believe from the hype. any day spent on the chief is a good one in my opinion, but if you've already got a hit list i wouldn't put this one at the top instead of something else. like angel's crest, for example, which has pretty short cruxes and great position.
