hanman Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Trip: Clear Creek- The Comb - Over the Rainbow Date: 1/10/2010 Trip Report: A couple of reasonably dry days called for a shot at a bit of granite- While not the balmy t shirt day, Stephen, Matt P and I had a great time regardless. We warmed up with a little chainsaw work on the Exfo Dome approach road. The nice campsite at the base of the sidewalk is now reclaimed for the most part. While finishing cutting through the last offending alder, the saw came to a stuttering stop out of gas- Simultaneously, a mysterious beam of light shone over to the Comb, and we were on our way. The place dries quite rapidly even in January (disregard the "wet" look of the stone in places) ::. Blueberry hill from afar- Matt on P1- .10a Stephen bringing up the rear Matt coming up 2nd P (5.8)- I wonder what could possibly cause these giant knobs? Hmmmmm.... Triumphant The third pitch was looking a bit wet, so we bailed- Big old Red Cedar on the hike out- I think this is one of the largest in the valley, many years ago I measured approx 16' in diameter! This is situated in a beautiful grove with many others of respectable size. Thanks guys- MH Gear Notes: A few tcus, draws and a couple of 50 M's Approach Notes: Path from the road- in good shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
