MrGecko Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 I read that the record for car to car stands here: Car to Car - 6:11 23 Pitches - 3:20 Descent - 1:51 Quote
MrGecko Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Do you happen to know a guy by the name of Pope? SFD/ice climber type. Quote
Ed_Hobbick Posted July 26, 2010 Author Posted July 26, 2010 There is no way that I could climb it that fast. Quote
Ed_Hobbick Posted July 26, 2010 Author Posted July 26, 2010 No but I think he is associated with Dragon(C2). Quote
MrGecko Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 >>There is no way that I could climb it that fast. you'd be surprised, I learned a bunch when I did it and am now ready to break that PR. However I'd be up for a training run. fire guy with Seattle's Ballard station. Not too many SFD ice climbing types. Quote
MrGecko Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 I can't tomorrow already engaged. Its also not a great day to be on that route. 81F in North Bend and no clouds. It will be a cooker unless you get underway very early. I can check in with my partner and if shes ok you can join in for local outing. Quote
kevbone Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Are you guys going to add an anchor below the 17 pitch? If so....right on. It was sad to see someone go through all that work and forget an anchor, so you have to either have a couple of 300 foot ropes or rapell off bushes (that is what we did) or down climb exposed 5.3/5.4 loose rock.

MrGecko Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) Kevbone - please keep it on the low so we can avoid the spray etc. on the partners forum no plans for any fixing it seems just fine as it is Edited July 27, 2010 by MrGecko Quote
Ed_Hobbick Posted July 26, 2010 Author Posted July 26, 2010 Kevbone - please keep it on the low so we can avoid the spray etc. Mr Gecko, your posting like a poser. Let's keep the Climbing Partners forum free of spray. Quote
JosephH Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 What's the fastest c2c time on it with a dog? Quote
Raindawg Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 I sense an impending sh*tstorm... Here it comes! I'll take the bait even though the exchanges I've been reading sound pretty fishy/naive. Gecko and Company: learn a little history before you go on that thing. It's an illegitimate route, power-drilled in a wilderness area. If you got any ethics beyond your own personal thrills, you should boycott it and certainly not add to the mess. The only reason it hasn't been removed yet is because realistically its going to take a heck of a lot of time and effort to do so. Personally, I would like to see the guys originally responsible step up and remove it themselves. Quote
stevetimetravlr Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 Have you done the regular route up Garfield, Raindawg? The hazardous enigma? or just blowing smoke? Quote
