ddg316 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Trip: Leavenworth - Millenium Wall Date: 2/4/2012 Trip Report: Yesterday hiked up to Millenium Wall hoping that there would still be some ice after the recent warm spell. Met a guy named Matt who had fixed lines to the anchor and was rope soloing the route. The right side of the wall was harder, more glassy ice, while it appeared that the left side had been climbed more often and looked more aerated (I did not actually climb the left side, but it looked like more hooking was going on than swinging).

Gear Notes: screws (I used 16 cm), crampons, tools, rope Approach Notes: No flotation necessary, although the trail was hard enough some sort of traction device might be helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessWookie Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Right on, DD! Those folks who flocked to Vantage missed out. That Matt fellow sounds like an awesome, thoughtful, cool, bad ass dude...I bet he's super hot, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
