CascadeClimber Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I climbed the Nisqually Icefall Fri-Sat, March 29-30, and skied from the summit to the Nisqually Bridge. Glad to have gone back and finished this one up. http://www.cascadeclimber.com/blog/?p=236 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdcast34 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Talked with a couple climbers who were on the Gib Ledges that said they saw you over there. Very impressive. Great work man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckohnstamm Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) Great read, heading up there in the next few weeks for that route. What movement skis? You also said you brought technical tools, and poles, but both poles are whippets...so you brought a pair of whippets and technical tools?

CascadeClimber Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 Movement Logic X. Yes, two technical tools and a pair of Whippets. I climbed the route to 13,100' last April and the icefall is (or was) in tougher shape this year. I could have managed with one walking axe, but I was faster and had more fun with two tools. I have a pair of Venoms for routes like this; they don't weigh much more than walking axes, so it's an easy call for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
