DCC Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) Trip: Mt Harvey - North Ramp Date: 12/4/2011 Trip Report: After a failed attempt the weekend before my girlfriend and I finally found the north ramp in climbable condition. Nov. 27th attempt. No WI, just WW The route is definitely "in" now, but has very thin ice/mixed bulges on the lower half, with more snow and fat ice up top. Used the pickets lots, every ice screw, and 1 med nut, one #4 metolius. Descending the SW Ridge Our Route Sustained 45 degree snow with short WI2 cruxes for added interest. Great day, close to home, first climb of the season. Get after it. Gear Notes: 2 pickets 6 screws super light rock rack rock gear at the bottom of the route, pickets and screws at the top of the ramp Approach Notes: Standard approach up the lions trail until fork to Mt Harvey North Face Trail Edited December 14, 2011 by DCC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Descending the north ridge? Curious, why not go down the SW ridge - did you have snowshoes left at the base or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCC Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 They were. I really butchered the TR, its the first one i've put up on here, and had limited time to do it. I've done my best to fix it up now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
