blake_taruscio Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Trip: forbidden peak - west ridge Date: 8/29/2009 Trip Report: The weather report called for a 50 percent chance of rain for saturday. When we woke up we were totaly socked in. At about ten we got a break in the weather and decided to head up. The couloir did not seem like a great option so we went up the gully to the west. We simul-climbed from the ridge notch to the summit. The summit held a great view. The weather was beautiful on the north side and above us, but remained cloudy below the ridge crest to the south. We found some nice rap slings, but there was alot of down climbing to the ridge notch. The gully had consistant rap stations We got to camp and decided to hike out in the dark. That was a bit of an ordeal,luckily Brian took care of the route finding. Gear Notes: medium sized rack. loved all the four foot slings i brought. Approach Notes: Lots of avalanch debris Quote
LostCamKenny Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 The weather was beautiful even though the forcast called for a fifty percent chance of rain. Well done - 50% chance? Aren't you glad you went - in spite of the hike out in the dark? Quote
