Pete_H Posted May 22, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordansahls Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) 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. 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.

OlympicMtnBoy Posted May 22, 2012 Share 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.
