Trip: Illumination Rock - Skylight

 

Date: 2/17/2013

 

Trip Report:

Mike and I enjoyed bluebird skies up high yesterday and climbed Skylight up to the last bolt. Would have some bitchin' photos but the camera battery died from the cold. Fantastic neve, good gear, and fun climbing. The route is a great mini alpine climb and deserves more traffic considering how its a straight forward day trip from Portland.

 

You can rap the route on fixed anchors at the top of pitches 1+2 as well as the bolt at the belay for pitch 1. A single 70 m should get you down but we used two 70s and skipped a rap station. Not recommended due to increased chances of getting a rope stuck. Everything else on the north side of Illumination Rock looked in fantastic shape.

 

Gear Notes:

Cams to #3 (placed it on both pitches), singles except for doubles in the .3-.75 range. Handful of pins and nuts helpful as well.

 

Approach Notes:

Traverse around the back on Illumination from the saddle, pick a line, climb it.
