CascadeClimber Posted March 11, 2002 Posted March 11, 2002 We managed to find some local, uncrowded ice on Sunday. 55 meters. WI3+ at the bottom on decent ice. WI2 at the top on slurpee-like material. Estimate 55 meters. WI5. Looked fun for a TR, but not much pro for leading (unless your name is Dale). We looked at it, then went back and TR'd the other one again. The area is well known. Can anyone name it? Quote
CascadeClimber Posted March 11, 2002 Author Posted March 11, 2002 Ding ding! Erik got it. As a prize he has gets to reveal the other stashes in the area. TR and some additional pics here, for those who are interested. Local Ice Quote
CascadeClimber Posted March 11, 2002 Author Posted March 11, 2002 Shit. Oh, yeah. I was wrong. It sucked. Don't go there. Those pics are actually of, uh, Drury Falls. Yeah, Drury. Go there, it's in. Quote
Jason_Martin Posted March 12, 2002 Posted March 12, 2002 The climb you guys did is called "Mikey's Gully." The next climb over is WI 4+/5. So far we have been unable to track down a name for that one. Jason Quote
CascadeClimber Posted March 12, 2002 Author Posted March 12, 2002 It has a real name, cool. I was afraid the naming scheme would be as inventive as "Alpental 1", "Alpental 2", etc. Got FA info on any of that stuff, Jason? Quote
Jason_Martin Posted March 12, 2002 Posted March 12, 2002 "Mikey's Gully" has been seeing ascents for at least twenty years. I haven't found any definitive information on who climbed it first. The climb to the left was probably first sent by Jack Lewis some time in the early eighties. Unfortunately this is an educated guess and the best I can do with it right now. Jason Quote

CascadeClimber Posted March 12, 2002 Author Posted March 12, 2002 Two hints: Drive time from Seattle: About two hours. Approach time: 30-60 minutes, depending on conditions. I'm working on a TR which will have more pics and tell all. Quote
