Marko Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Trip: NY Gully - Date: 12/24/2011 Trip Report: Scott Gullberg and I scratched our way up the route yesterday. It's the bonyest I've ever seen it, and thus a bit harder than usual; though Scott did a fine job leading the crux pitches. One thing I'd mention is that you'd best tread lightly and swing lightly in these conditions to avoid destroying the turf up there. There's zero ice right now and only a handful of sticks into neve so the turf is even more of a valuable commodity. There's also quite a bit of loose rock exposed that is usually covered and more frozen into place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottgg Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Thanks for another adventure Mark! Couple shots: Droping into the wild and wooly Thunder Creek Basin: Mark starting up the second pitch to the dead snag: Box gully of pitch 3: Mark on the thin 4th pitch: couple loose blocks, but overall a blast to climb! Cheers to Mark for his patience and ubiquitous motivation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
