Noodle Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I'm wondering how much snow is on the north side of Peoh Point/Cle Elum Point right now. Pics would be sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyleaf Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Here's the number to the Brick in Roslyn. They'll let you know. 509 649 2643 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RokIzGud Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I just called my folks (they live in Cle ELum) and i guess it has been pretty warm. There was some new snow last night but it melted by this afternoon. As of yesterday there was snow on the hill and there still should be some i just dont know how much. If you make it out pleeeeeas post a TR! Iv been dying to climb it since 7th grade. Just never made it out. Id love to see how it goes.

Noodle Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Will do! The north slope looks cool and I wonder about it every time I drive past in the winter. In the words of my climbing buddy "Sounds stupid...I'm in" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RokIzGud Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I talked to one of my old teachers from Cle Elum, he had a friend that climbed it and said he needed rock pro in a few places. Thats the extent of what i know... I dont know which couloir he went up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevino Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 When I drove by it this afternoon it looked 50/50 as far as bare rock to snow covered rock. Or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 hnn... Doesn't sound too promising. Driving by it in the summer, the rock looks like sh** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RokIzGud Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 The rock IS like that sh**. Few friends and i played around on few caves there and saw an easy way up that im pretty sure would not need any pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyleaf Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Want some beta? I spent 4 hours getting pissed at the Brick and drove my toyota pu right to the base under the power lines. I kept getting shocked when I touched my truck. So, I climbed to the top of that bonafide sack of shit completely shit faced drunk and had a great time. Holds kept breaking off left and right which really made me giggle. It was fun. There was no pro. I would rate it 5.DRUNK. I only did it because I was wasted and had spent too much time being wasted and looking at it wondering what it would be like to climb the damn thing. It's not as steep as it looks. Yes you should continue to do what so many of have done for decades driving by Cle Elum. JUST KEEP DRIVING. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RokIzGud Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 He and i talked about doing it some winter but we never got around to doing it. He sounded pretty interested. You should take a class with him. Its quite ah.... interesting... But really, he was one of my favorite teachers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cascadesdj Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I live in Roslyn and have climbed it in both summer and winter conditions. The gullies in the winter can be kind of fun, not technical, but good glissading down. There is snow in those gullies right now, but not nearly as much as usual this time of year. I climbed one of the prominent aretes in the spring on a gorgeous day once. Don't bother with rock pro. It's pretty much choss. We did have fun, though. You have to test each hold and only after that, use it. I'd say the hardest moves are around 5.5. Careful, though, if you don't test the holds properly and move with care, there are lots of death fall opportunities. Â I've climbed many days with the "teacher" Eric, mostly sport. Â There is some decent climbing (sport) around this area, but it's not around Peoh Point. It's up by Lake Cle Elum and Salmon la Sac.

Noodle Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 We chickened out given the low snow and ended up making what is likely the first sled descent of Hex Mountain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
