Saddle Mountain route ?

[billcoe]

Anyone ever do or know of any routes at Saddle Mountain in the Oregon Coast range?

 

 

I'm thinking a look/see is in order this weekend. Anyone looked? Whadda think? (other than the ice in that pic is long gone )

I did not realize there is ice on Oregon coast.

 

When was this pic taken Bill?

haven't been out there in a long time, but yeah, i remember there's rock that'd be high enough for some routes. i don't know of anything established there, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been done. i don't remember the rock looking very confidence-inspiring

 

i was looking at it a few years back for skiing, and if i remember right, the access gets to be a pain in the ass if there's significant snow - so ice may be hard to come by.

but for dry rock routes, sure, go check it out.

it'll probably be chossy, but from the pictures on this website, we know that hasn't stopped you in the past

Mito, that's not my pic I just borrowed it off the net. Sorry! Anyone ever recon the significant cliff on Humbug Mt? Looks to be @ 1000 foot high, but the topo lines are more like 400-600 foot range. I think I'll take a bike ride into there at some point. Could maybe use some company if anyone is into it. The rock at Saddle could be done....but...it's very sharp conglomerate, you'd get hurt bad in any non-overhanging fall....even I have standards, as low as they are. LOL!

 

BTW, Jeff Thomas said he thought Bob McGown had done some routes there. I just talked to Bob Thursday but totally forgot to ask him about what he's done down there. Bet he's done something.

 

Take care all!
