BeauCarrillo Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Trip: The Mole - North Face Date: 5/19/2012 Trip Report: I'd always point it out to people, " see that man, that's The Mole dude." I'd be like.... Pics and all: Beau's Blog Gear Notes: Goggles for the moss haha Approach Notes: Compact snow and an early start made the approach cruiser... Quote
Pete_H Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Nice work on a somewhat obscure gem. 4600 vf for two pitches is brutal even by Washington standards. I'm waiting until they build a tram before I go back up there. Quote

It's certainly a haul, but I think camping on Edwards Mesa softens the blow a little. Also, good work on the climb. That area is so cool. Edited May 22, 2012 by jordansahls Quote
OlympicMtnBoy Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Nice, this is a great time of year to do that one. Did you take the right hand variation on the first pitch, I started up that and then opted for the less mossy standard way left. I couldn't tell from your pic. Quote
Verticolorful Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) YA man i was just about to make this post myself. Have fun down in Chile dude! I WANT TO SEE SOME MORE TRIP REPORTS ON THE MOLE IN THE COMING WEEKS! CONDITIONS ARE STILL PERFECT FOR FAST SNOW TRAVEL. Edited May 24, 2012 by Verticolorful Quote
