Ed_Hobbick Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Trip: Chair Peak Alpental - Northeast Buttress Date: 1/8/2010 Trip Report: Climbers: Bug, Brandon01, Ed Hobbick First pitch to the slung rock: soft snow no good for screws had to dig to find rock for pro. Second Pitch to the tree anchor: Pretty good for screws and pretty good ice, kind of soft toward the top near the tree. Third pitch to the next tree: soft snow and not very deep, no good for screws We bailed prior to the Icefall. The snow seemed to soft to get any good protection and we did not feel like digging for rock protection. It was pretty windy as well. Gear Notes: wished we had some Bugaboo pitons Approach Notes: Walked in with boots on a walkable crust and then crampons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
