benmurphy Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Trip: Cloven Roof - Straight Street Boogie Date: 2/5/2011 Trip Report: Headed up to Spring Mtn over the weekend to spend some time below the big cloven roof. Weather was prime and the company sublime... Good times! The line/roof: Base of roof: Assembling: All smiles: Looking east: Looking down: Weather moving in: Cooking: Overhanging aid line for the future: Gear Notes: too much! Approach Notes: About 0.8 miles longer with the washout. Quote
billcoe Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Nice! South of Darrington? You guys get any sunshine at all? Quote
Riley81 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Spring Mt. is just south of Mt. Pugh out on FS road 49 off the Mountain loop highway. The road is washed out just under a mile before the trail head, but I imagine that the Forest service will fix it pretty quick this summer since it is a small washout on a fairly main road. Here is a link to a guide on RCNW.net Spring Mountain guide Quote
benmurphy Posted February 7, 2011 Author Posted February 7, 2011 We got a few sun breaks on Saturday, then fog/rain rolled in for the night and next morning...good to be out though! Quote

vert Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Looks like a good time! Cool looking traverse line beneath the roof. When is the best time to show up for the tour! Quote
mountainsloth Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 nice guys! good to hear the road is not as bad as Clear Creek. Many might be redirected to Spring come Spring instead of the normal Dtown stuff. Quote
Riley81 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Mark says thats how he found spring and got started out there back in 2005 when the road washed out before. Quote
benmurphy Posted February 8, 2011 Author Posted February 8, 2011 hey mark! anytime in early summer after things dry out a bit would be great for the tour! let us know when you can make it up and we'd be happy to show you around... Quote
