More Info

I work seasonally (usually abroad) and have a van I live in most of the time I'm not working. I have access to a family cabin 5 minutes from Index, WA.

Ultimate goal is alpinism, being well rounded in all mountain aspects with good cardio, but recently I've been enjoying the movement of harder rock climbing, currently breaking into the 11s (2024).

● Resolution Arete
Mar 17, 2026 · 7 pitches. Lead / Fell/Hung. Attempt, got 7.5 pitches up and then bailed. This is a monster behemoth of choss and sand and scary as shit. The pitches are super physical and pretty relentless, lots of flaring wide climbing with a lot less face holds than I think is normal for RR. These pitches meader a lot and would suck for hauling, and were annoying for fix and follow. These also felt like proper Yosemite grades, WAY sandbagged for RR standards. These bottom pitches were also covered in sand and a healthy layer of lichen and moss making the whole thing feel super insecure. Pitch 8 felt super sand bagged but I think I was just dead tired by then. Bailing from pitch 8 meant down simuling to the tree with tat between pitches 6/7, rapping to a bush with tat, then rapping to the fixed pins on wicked Wanda. From here we did a full 60m rap with an escaper to the bottom of the climb and down chimney'd for llike 10 feet. I looked for other intermediate anchors and all would have required leaving cams or a nest of nuts. I brought most of a double rack from black totem to #4, with singles only in .2, 2, 3 and 4 and tbh next time I'd bring solid doubles to 3. And you definitely definitely need the 4. I bumped it for like 20 feet on the first pitch. We brought a 60m rope but would likely bring a 70m next time to link and utilize the nice belay ledges, maybe?. Link (ardously) 1/2 for a great ledge, and 3/4 to skip the chimney belay and get a great nook, run 5 into the tree, simul 6/7 and then good luck from there.
