It shoots two shells at a time in a 12 shell chamber, meaning that it will burn through your ammo fairly quickly thanks to its high rate of fire.

Thanks to John Scurlock for flying over before the ascent to take recon photos, and thanks also for flying over on approach day thinking we were on route (we had told him we would be climbing Assassin on Friday). This was a fantastic trip of epic proportions with a great partner in Daniel Jeffrey. We were buzzed on the summit by an EA6B Prowler who did a double-take and circled us 2 or 3 times.
We spied about 15 snowmobiles parked under Sherman Peak, and saw 4 climbers at the col below the upper slopes of the Coleman Glacier. What a place!įrom the summit, Lincoln Peak looks impressive, as does Colfax and Baker. Daniel led this and we topped out in another steep snow/ice gully to 55 degrees. We went right at John Wilkes' Tooth before arriving at the final ice curtain (20m WI4+). This gully led into some 70 degree ice which we also soloed. We traversed the hanging glacier to another gully (45 degrees), which we simul-soloed. How impressive!! Many lines are waiting to be climbed here consisting of very aesthetic, sustained, and solid ice. Above the hanging glacier lies an amazing amphitheater of ice and rock that rivals anything else I have seen in the entire N Cascade Range. A swing of the tool would shatter the ice as it broke off huge chunks.įrom the top of the first curtain, we climbed 55 degree snow (firm and punchy here) to gain the hanging glacier. The ice was better here, but still brittle in spots. From here, he belayed me up and I led the next 30m pitch. I then lowered off and belayed Daniel up to finish the last 5m (one more screw placement). I led 25m on the first step before running out of screws. This was very tiring, and we pumped out fast. The ice on the curtain was very brittle and it took multiple swings to get good placements. We had spied a vertical line of ice (~3 pitches of WI6) below the hanging glacier, but it looked a bit intimidating for us, so we opted to try a less sporty line on climber's right.Ģ 25m pitches of WI4+ (90-100 degree ice - short stretches of overhanging on the first pitch) separated by a ledge led us up to a 55 degree buttress. We brewed some water and coffee, and proceeded to cross the basin to the base of the NW Face.
The next morning we awoke at 3:30 again to crystal clear, starry skies. From here, it was a long, undulating journey to camp at ~6200' in the basin below Assassin Peak and Heliotrope Ridge. We then headed up new-growth timber through a clearcut for 700' to gain Marmot Ridge. We were crossing a very icy Warm Creek by 3:50 in complete darkness. We had planned to approach that evening, but it was raining when we arrived, so we decided to postpone the approach until the following morning.įriday morning we awoke at 3:30AM, and got ready to head up.
