mattschweiker Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Trip: Mt. Stuart - North Ridge Date: 7/29/2012 Trip Report: Chad and I climbed the N Ridge over the weekend of 7/28-29. We approched from the South via Ingalls Lake and Stuart Pass. We crossed the Stuart Glacier and were happy we had lightweight crampons and ax's. It could have been done without but easier to have them. We found water on the climbers left side of the glacier before ascending to the notch. The bivy spots at the notch are excellent and Chad and I had a really cool bivy. There was no one else on route the entire weekend, which I'm told is a bit unusual for this time of year. We simul-climbed everything except the 2 great gendarme pitches. As reported in a earlier TR, there are 2 fixed cams in the 2nd 5.9 pitch.

counterfeitfake Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 As reported in a earlier TR, there are 2 fixed cams in the 2nd 5.9 pitch. Both are #4s? That's kind of a bummer. But I guess you now definitely do not need to bring your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam yarder Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 someone must've bootied the second stuck cam because it wasn't there two weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
