mountainsloth Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Anyone checked out squire creek? Wondering when the illusion wall will be ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genepires Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) did not actually see squire creek wall. but the lingering snow seen on exfol dome suggests that the same would exist on squire. maybe lines protected from melting snow patches and/or seeps? Illusion seems like a good fit for these 2 conditions needed. Edited May 4, 2014 by genepires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainsloth Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 My first time up to the illusion wall with the late and great rainman it was June (I think) and we brought ice axes for the slab approach. Here's to hoping it has been a light snow year for squire creek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genepires Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 makes sense. while the face would be free of snow, being east facing means lots of leeward side snow accumulation. The avalanches would build up the snow pack on the base of the face and ledges till june. heck, the first pitch of total soul and silent running is still under snow and that has a somewhat southerly aspect. I thought you were asking about the dryness of the face itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curtveld Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 First wash was a little rough for the Corolla, so walked the extra 10 minutes. Might have given it another try if there wasn't the rusty muffler along the side of the road. Truck or AWD would probably make it all the way.

mattp Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 If you plan to climb to the top of the Dome from Blueberry Terrace, be sure to start climbing 50 yards north of where the Smoot book indicates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanman Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 (edited) Hello fellow CC'ers Just a heads up: This weekend, a group of dedicated volunteers will be working on the Asbestos Creek ford a couple miles in. We will be installing the 2nd half of the surface repair. The funding was entirely donated by climbers and hikers last winter. A hefty thanks to everyone who made this happen!!!! Truck is loaded, and we could always use a few more hands. Feel free to stop by to say hi and meet the intrepid and passionate force that helps maintain access to this great area. Looks warm, we'll be mighty thirsty Give a call if interested in participating. 425-263-1220 M.
