JasonG Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 That is a great trip, a true NW classic! Brings back many fond memories, thanks. If you go back again, camp up on the Snowdome at least one night and watch the sun set into the Pacific from Panic Peak. That, and climb some of the other summits of Olympus. Lastly, the rap route is actually the most enjoyable way to climb the summit block (easy fifth, much better than the 4th class ledge system). Just bring a couple nuts and tri cams. A 37M glacier half rope works both for the rap (with some down climbing) and leading up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
