Route Climbed: Up the steep North Face Date Climbed: August 05, 2003
Great summit! Just 100 ft. below Cathedral. I did it with my friends Ryan McCourt, and Allison. Fun, but cold in the shade & wind! The summit is interesting -- it's more broken than you think from the view of it from the Meadows, and there are 3 big, thin plates standing upright. Wild!
Route Climbed: South Ridge Date Climbed: July 4, 2003
My first class 4 peak, and it ended up (thanks to the kindness of strangers) being my first roped climb too. I headed up to see if I was comfortable scrambling this stuff (solo) yet, but came to some rock I wasn't convinced I could downclimb. Chickening out, I met a couple coming up--they'd backed off twice before (this made me feel better), brought a rope this time, and kindly invited me to rope in.
I must have found it a bit spicy even with the rope, because my mouth was bone dry by the time I reached the summit. The downclimb was easier than I expected. I was glad I'd brought my rock shoes though... with my climbing skills, I need all the help I can get!
Route Climbed: Elizabeth Lake Date Climbed: June 14, 2003
Fun climb! The approach was slow because of the abundant snow from the April storms. The summit was clear of snow. One tricky fourth class move involved squeezing between two rocks.
Route Climbed: East Face Date Climbed: Aug 14, 1999
One of my first roped climbs, John and I found an easy class 5 route on the east side above Elizabeth Lake. We couldn' t manage to make the class 4 exit off the south edge of the ridge, so we roped up and downclimbed the east side. We planned to climb Cockscomb as well, but we gave up after climbing the intermediate summit (Mt. Althuska) between the two. Quite lame for an all day effort, but still quite fun! Trip Report.
