Trip: Mt. Conness - West Ridge

 

Date: 9/13/2009

 

Trip Report:

On Sunday Justin (another CC) and I climbed the West Ridge of Mt. Conness. After climbing in the valley on Saturday this was exactly what we were looking for. The approach was not as cush as Cathedral which definitely kept the crowds away. We shared the route with one other group led by another Washington climber that Justin knew well but hadn't seen in years. Small world

There was some fun exposed climbing along the crest of the ridge.

I enjoyed this climb quite a bit. I think the guide book calls it a 12 pitch 5.6 but we simulclimbed most of it. I definitely recommend it to anyone who ends up in Yosemite and wants to get away from the crowds.
