Upper Mowich Face

[Chris Magness]

I'm sure there are a million threads about this already;I can't figure out how to search this forum..

 

Considering a trip in a few weeks as this route as one objective. I can find several trip accounts and a bunch of photos, buy not a good route description. The one on MP is terrible.

 

I'd be flying solo, most likely a one day push. Also looking for steeper options in the area, this would be the warm-up. Comfortable ropeless up to NEI 5.

Chris,

 

if you haven't checked out Mike Gauthier's climbing guide thats pretty solid over-view of almost every conceivable route on the mountain. I'll email you some camera phone pics of the pages on this route if you'd like, pm your addy.
