Trip: Liberty Bell, Washington Pass - Rappel Grapple, Becky Route

Date: 6/25/2008

Trip Report:
Conditions of route:
Snow free, (really) cold until the sun hit.

We referenced someone's photo copy from "Weekend Rock" for Rappel Grapple, which made the route really straight forward.

The Becky route was the Becky route.

Other routes in the area looked pretty clear of snow.





Also, I posted this in the lost and found, but again, if anyone finds a purple Mythos shoe up there, I'd appreciate hearing about it. Thanks.








Gear Notes:
Single set of Cams (to #3 C4) and some nuts.

Approach Notes:

Hard/Icy snow from the parking lot all the way up the approach to the notch in the morning. Softened up just fine for mid afternoon descent. The "trail" was slightly ambiguous in the beginning, further complicated by a bunch of foot prints leading off in all directions from many other wandering climbers.
