A gendarme on the NE ridge forced us onto the south face, Bald Mountain. We discovered a repel sling near this spot. June 3, 2011.

Voted 10/10 | This looks a bit dicey, did you find a easier way back down? | | Posted Jun 5, 2011 1:21 pm |

Hasn't voted | Unfortunately not. This shot was taken on the way back down. What did Michael say about the trip? | | Posted Jun 6, 2011 1:13 am |

Voted 10/10 | He said there was a bit of climbing and that the ending was sketchy and that some of the rocks were wet. | | Posted Jun 6, 2011 1:37 am |

Voted 10/10 | The "Josh man" is RIGHT!
It does look rather dicey, kinda like
diced onions with pumpernickel bread and
a tall frosty milk shake on the side !!! | | Posted Jun 6, 2011 9:51 am |

Hasn't voted | That's hilarious! Lol. I didn't know it while we were there but I recently found out that some people rope up for the entire upper ridge. | | Posted Jun 7, 2011 12:52 pm |

Voted 10/10 | Yeah, some folks even "rope up" for
McClellan Butte, at least the last 200 yards.
Believe Mount Si can be done without one. | | Posted Jun 7, 2011 8:39 pm |

Hasn't voted | That's a good point. I've yet to rope up on rock, but I guess I'll have to one of these days. Perhaps this year on Olympus. | | Posted Jun 7, 2011 8:48 pm |

Voted 10/10 | Olympus is isolated enough where a rope
would come in handy. Let us know how you do! | | Posted Jun 7, 2011 8:57 pm |
