| bird | West Ridge Late Fall  Date Climbed: Oct 24, 2009 | |
| Great climb with Excitable Boy. Awesome late fall outing, weather cooperated. A bit cold and snow/ice on approach and descent added to alpine feel. Approach via Colchuck Lake was nice and scenic. | |

| Mosquitoes sucked (I think I'd rather have the wind), but it was a very interesting and varied route. | |

| Another adventure with Sir P, and barely snuck this nice climb in before the hail and snow flurries hit. Camped at Snow Lakes and had a nice early start. Done with the serious stuff by early afternoon. Swedish bikini climbing team was not to be found, nor were any others on this questionable day. I love this place though! I want to go back and just hang out for awhile. | |

| Climbed with Brian, Kyle and Kristy. Camped at Snow Lakes Saturday night, climbed on Sunday and hiked all the way out. Beautiful day, but a bit chilly in the morning. Great climb! | |

| Had a great time in the mountains with I.L. and definitely a great climb! Camped above Aasgard Pass so we could also hit Dragontail while in the area. I had heard quite a bit about the Enchantments and the area is definitely amazing! | |

| Great cool day, lots of fun on the West Ridge. We got lucky winning the lottery and so we camped below the peak. Beautiful time to be up in the granite with the Larch trees shining like gold... | |

| Three of us hit up Prusik Peak in Oct 2006. We climbed up the West Ridge which I found relaxed and fun. Beautiful view with the larch trees changing. The 2-day trip was a marathon! | |

| The lottery gave us three days of golden larch tree bliss, with the climb being surely an alpine luxury meant not for us Enchantment first timers. beautiful and fun climbing. | |

| Nice route, lots of fun. It was a bit windy though, and belaying was quite chilly. | |

| rpc | Two Lines | |
| South Face, Stanely-Hamburger, June 25-56, 2006. 4 years since our last visit here. Enough to forget the long (if on nice trails) approach. Nice line. Ledgy though and the last pitch was not that great IMHO (weird cracks). Ran short on gear on it (which scared me). You can easily do the route in ~4 pitches with 60m rope. Chimney pitch was actually nicer (comparable to chimney pitch on Aries at Index - just a touch longer but with very good pro). Long approach/hike out esp. for first alpine outing of the season. West Ridge, Sept. 28, 2002. My wife and I did this as a day climb via Snow Lakes (?) trail - about 20 miles r.t. and 6700' of elevation gain. Started on saturday at 2am pretty much straight from work; were done climbing the incredible pitches of prusik by about 4pm; back in the car at 11pm on saturday (passed out in the car at 11:05pm and slept till 8am) for a grand total of 21 nonstop hrs. of fun. Carried two ropes (10.5 and 9), full rack of cams and full set of nuts - the pack weight was appreciable - if I had to do it over again, I'd bring.....well, pretty much the same thing (used most of it) maybe I'd skip the food since we really did not eat anything (not sure why, just skipped our minds). Best rock climb to date. The 5.7 smearing slab portion was relatively easy (short) however the belay above that section was very interesting - narrow, exposed ledge with the anchor being somewhat questionable. The ridge traverse after the 5.7 slab was very exposed - opted to do it as a 'finger traverse' on one side given the fact that pro could really be set only to take a fall in a single direction off the ridge. The final long pitch below the summit was definitely the crux - the 5.6 lieback beginning was fun, the 5.8 chimney (according to Jeff Smoot's book) was interesting - was able to place multiple solid pieces at the start of the chimney, go onto a slanting ledge about 1/3 of the way up the chimney and solidly place two (large and medium) cams 1/2 way up that last portion of the chimney. Rapped off the north face - seemed to take many many rappels - group ahead of us kept on getting their ropes stuck so we opted to do only 2 initial rap's as double rope; rest were single rope. Excellent climb!!!! | |

| Approached via Aasgard Pass. The Enchantment Lakes region has got to be one of the most spectacularly beautiful areas I've ever been to. The climbs were wonderful--great weather and routes on impeccable granite. | |
