Stefan Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 Klenke: Could you take a look at the NE Ridge of Lewis when you are up there? I would like to know what it involves. Send me a trip report when you get back! I would also like to know what the east aspect of the north ridge you are on looks like. Thanks. Quote
klenke Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 Will do. In actuality, I had thought about possibly descending by the NE Ridge, if things looked feasible that way, and then going back along the NW-trending ridge north of the basin north of Lewis Peak (i.e., going back along the ridge that leads directly back to the logging road). My main thought for doing this was to get some good pics of the NW Ridge of Lewis, etc. from a different vantage. Plus, I love making loops trips. Quote
catbirdseat Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 It's going to be very wet. Any precip will almost certainly be in the form of rain. There may be problems with brush at low evevation, because of lack of snow. Quote
JoshK Posted January 25, 2003 Author Posted January 25, 2003 Getting wet doesn't piss me off as much if I can dry off later that night Quote
klenke Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 Bring extra clothes along to change in to back at the car. And remember, the most memorable climbs are sometimes those that were most miserable. They're the type of climbs that make for good stories at pub clubs. No one ever wants to hear about those uneventful climbs up to Granite Mountain in perfect summer conditions. Zzzzzzzzz. Quote

No one ever wants to hear about those uneventful climbs If we all look at you sideways because you DELIBERATELY set out to get soaked on a day when you knew you were going to see absolutely nothing, you'll just have to assume we are enjoying your story!!! Have fun. Quote

klenke Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 Oh yeah, that's right. That's one of his oft-done climbs. That must be why Granite came to mind in terms of having punter stories to relate. Quote
