Climbing in Avalanche Basin

Submitted by telemon on Sun, 12/18/2011 - 19:24

Miscreant was climbed last week by two Flathead Valley locals.

Memorandum is the line in the center of the photo, Miscreant is to the right.

You need to log in to see the photo.

 

I wish it had only been four years since we climbed that route but I think it was actually 2003. We had not seen it formed before that. If I remember correctly, Chris and I made an attempt in mixed conditions but could not make it go. Ryan and I went back a couple of weeks later and found much more ice. We call that route The Miscreant and have no knowledge of a prior ascent, but who knows. I'll attach a couple of pix. I have no excuse for the poor photo quality or for the one-piece suit. It was already old then but I still have it. Might be time to dig it out and toss it. Cheers.
