| idpeakgirl | West Chute Date Climbed: Sep 21, 2012 | |
| There are two west chutes. Take the right one, as we did. What we did not know was at the point the chute splits, take the right hand one; we mistakenly took the left and ended up pulling a class 5 move to gain a point with a view of the summit ridgeline that told us we had chosen the wrong way. Late in the day and had to turn around. Lots of loose boulders call for careful foot and hand placement. | ||

| Good climb and many 4th and 5th class options. Amazing views...although smoke from a nearby fire made it hazy. Descended to Green/Brown lakes and hit up Vagabond on the way. | ||

| Perfect weather for climbing this long chute. Blair and I took in as much Class 4 and 5 as we could to keep the adrenaline up. Altitude was kickin' my ass though. Hit up Vagabond and descended to Green Lake for a mosquito slog to TH. Great day! | ||

| w/ Jascha. Substitute for the N Buttress of Goode. Not much choice with the threatening dark clouds. Better than sitting at home. | ||

| Repeat of the W Chute of Cloudripper with Jascha, partly in the dark. Contoured cross country past Brown Lake and picked up the aqueduct for a ways. | ||
