Trip: Les Cornes - Steinbok Arete (5.11a, 1600', ~13p)

 

Date: 8/18/2016

 

Trip Report:

Seems its been a few years since someone posted a trip report for Springbok Arete on Les Cornes. The logging road has gotten perhaps a bit rougher and the approach a bit brushier, but the climb is still as great as ever!

 

Duncan Ralph and I climbed Springbok Arete yesterday, car to car. It was a full value day and worth the effort on the approach.

 

Here's a link to my full trip report:

Go right here...road is hard to see but that is a road on the right....(see my trip report for more photos and beta for the approach)
