Dane Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I am so tired of all the new ski/SB decent TRs. Damnit doesn't anyone know we should still be climbing in these storms blowing through? I'd write a trip report myself but we keep failing on the approach...too much snow I'd given my left nut for skiis last on the walk out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtbag Packwork Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Wish I could get someone to climb through a storm with me. Keep getting after it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spionin Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 i'd offer to ski-tow you in a sled, but that might be tad tough through the trees, dude. looks like it's either a b&b stay or a short approach from the tent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbcbd Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I've been fighting different approach techniques/gear this winter for climbing and still have yet to hit it right on any one climbing trip. And Dirtbag - that's right, don't call me for those, I'm waiting for the sunny thawy days from now on! Veronika, count me in for the b&b and short approach, day pushes are a thing for people who like sleeping in their own beds too much.

jmace Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Here ya go one for the climbers, too lazy to write a TR I snuck up one of the Husume butress lines weekend before last, was spectacular, easy at M5 or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layton Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Haven't heard of that buttress- where's it at? And what's with the screamer/ice tool/cord combo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxtrax Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Off of whistler/blackcomb (along the spearhead somewhere? I've only heard it mentioned in passing). I'm guessing some sort of giant impromptu spectre... seems a bit desperate though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That last bit of pro in that pic or the very first picture tips us off:-) ps, it looks like a human in that first pic, but it would be easy to miss with a cursory glance! W00T! You Dane?

Dane Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 Ya, a bit of spindrift..it is Dave my partner, suffering more than I for the moment This was a few moments before and then he just dissappeared for 30m or so. At that point I put the camera away. We only did one easy pitch but saw each other less than 60% of the time. He was bitching about blowing the snow out of his nose or something similar. Fifty + pitches of ice this winter and this week is the coldest I've been, while wearing the most amount of clothes! Dave doesn't laugh full time at my visor now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corvallisclimb Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 And what's with the screamer/ice tool/cord combo? I'll second that? Time for a second edition Mike, gotta add what ever the hell that is that to the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choada_Boy Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Answer: Placed tool as pro before climbing up to the belay. I'm also going to posit a klemheist around the top of the handle. Tricky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 rock climbing the last few days has sure been nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmace Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Answer: Placed tool as pro before climbing up to the belay A snow chimney with limited pro in its current state, and as mentioned Whistler Blackomb area, its in the ice guide. Worthy of an adventure as Spring conditions approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YocumRidge Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 looks like it's either a b&b stay or a short approach from the tent Plus lounge chairs and a case of adult beverages waiting on the summit, preferably with a fixed line setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
