Cpt.Caveman Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 IF the weather is ok this weekend I would like to slog on a N Cascade peak. Shuksan or something in that area. Wonder how the schrund is on the Nooksack tower ... It looks like an inviting climb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RopeGunHooker Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Your pussy ass will never make it. The scrhunds and loose rock will put your tail between your legs. If you make it to the summit you better have enough pitons and daylight to get down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Cavey - You can probably get over the 'schrund on Nooksack, but if not you could climb the Bertulis route (N. Face) which starts right next to it (you'd need only cross the 'schrund on the descent, assuming you descended via the Beckey route. The Bertulis route is a 17 pitch rock climb, up to 5.9 in difficulty but mostly low to mid-fifth, and generally on decent rock by North Cascade standards. If you try it, you may want to follow the advice we had when I climbed it: my partner was told the best approach to the final tower is to traverse right where an obvious and inviting crack system leads up and left, and this worked for us. Either way, though, Nooksack Tower is a pretty big thing for a two-day weekend. You'll know you did something. -Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skisports Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Cavey I did an atempt on price about 2 weeks ago and the shrun wasn't that bad from what I saw.

Cpt.Caveman Posted September 18, 2002 Author Share Posted September 18, 2002 I found a victim\partner. We aren't going for Nookie Tower. Oh well maybe some other time. ANy other people that want to fight or climb with us just bring your boxing gloves or gear to climb with. That means you RopeGunHooker.
