Alpine Climbing in WA Pass: The Hitchhiker (5.11-, 900')
Спорт
Led all the pitches of The Hitchhiker (5.11-, 9 pitches, 900') on South Early Winter Spire at Washington Pass on June 25, 2022. Very snowy for the year, so crampons and ice axe were necessary and post-holing was definitely the first crux! Dry rock, baby goats and perfect sticky granite for nine full-value pitches were the reward.
Moderate, modern alpine climbing in the North Cascades with all pitches 5.10 to 5.11. An absolute gem.

I clicked this video expecting to be mildly disappointed after watching every professional rock climbing video on KZread. This was an absolutely amazing, well put together video!! You guys are total rockstars. I'm adding this one to my list! Killer job guys 😁

Thank you so much! I create these because I really love rewatching adventures I've gone on, but figure I'll share them with the rest of the world as well
Thanks Natalie. Looks like a blast. Lots of memories in that zone from years past. Goats were always a nice treat, sometimes in the way on summit pitches. Enjoy some cool ones down in Mazama/Winthrop.

The goats are definitely responsible for a large majority of the objective rockfall hazard!
