Hello!

I'd love to do a couple laps on SCW this Sunday. Outer Space and Iconoclast to be specific. The weather looks warm and stellar for Sunday! Send a PM or emailed: touring29@gmail

Thanks!

John

ok i climbed SCW like a week ago and did Hyperspace and Outerspace... but then i went back a couple days ago to work Edge of Space, and i could not even make it up Outerspace because of a large ice peice on pitch 4. if you head up there i left a cam above the crux of outerspace if you could booty if for me thanks!

What kind of shape is the route in? Is there ice/snow on route or on top?

In its condition right now, it's a serious mixed climb. Bring tools, pons and stubbies. Expect unprotected post-holing through snow on top of steep slabs at the topout. Check back around late May. I may have better news then regarding conditions of the route.

Please feel free to share this information with the greater Seattle climbing community.

And the ticks may rain down on thee like a thousand locusts?

Oh man. Don't even get me started on the ticks on SCW. Sadly your analogy is not too far from the truth. In fact it may be an understatement.

Not sure if jpoltz is confused or just pulling your leg but the route and top out are clean and dry. I was there 3/8. Walkin does have postholing.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
