eric_murphy Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 Drury Falls is in. The lower falls are fat and plastic. We soloed the first pitch, and led the second (WI 3), which took us to the basin beneath the upper falls. We drooled at the ice before us, pondering the hard climbing. Due to the time of day, we opted to bail out, rather than rappel, and descend in the dark. The upper falls looks to have some technical WI 5 climbing on the top two pitches. This climb would be best done from a high bivy near the falls. The approach is deceptively long, with almost 3000' gain, and postholing snow condtions. Not to mention the avalanche danger in the approach drainage. Do Not attempt this climb in questionable snow conditions. Crossing the Wenatchee river in a $20 inflatable raft was quite amusing. Bring a good paddle!......Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
