Trip: Forbidden Peak - West Ridge

 

Date: 6/14/2013

 

Trip Report:

Two friends and I took a shot at Forbidden on Friday/Saturday and made it pretty darn close to the summit but turned around due to our inefficiency! The ridge has plenty of snow but there was another party up there in rock shoes (we wore plastics, even with crampons at times). Check out photos and video on my blog!

Any info on the story of the other party mentioned at the end trip report would be cool. They appeared to be having "an epic" - group of 4

 

Gear Notes:

used pickets, rock pro to 2", 2 60 meter ropes (3 climbers, also 60m raps in the couloir), left a biner up there for the raps

 

Approach Notes:

snow began at tree line near 5,000 feet IIRC. Road melted out

The group of four were friends of mine, they made it out safe, but late -- and a couple of ropes lighter after having a situation with their raps:
