Trip: Hyalite thanksgiving -

 

Date: 11/27/2011

 

Trip Report:

Dan, Matt and myself headed out to Hyalite for thanksgiving to get some ice climbing in since it is still fall in Washington. We were able to climb 2 out of 3 days and had a good time.

 

The first day we spent playing around at G1.

The second day we headed out to try and climb the dribbles but the weather turned and we decided that we better not do it. We found some small stuff to play around on before we headed back to the Ramada.

 

Having only one day of climbing left I wanted to get on something fun and make the best of it. We settled on "The Thrill is Gone" since the book said it was maybe one of the best pitches in all of Hyalite.

"Hey Dan I am bored belaying, think I can rope swing?"

 

After we went and did "The fat one" and then over to the far left climb in the amphitheater and wrapped up a solid climbing trip.
