| Quandary - Inwood Arete | climbing/hiking | Joe Forrester | 3h39m | 7/12/04 | The ascent from the car to the summit took 1h47m. The route itself is a little meandering. Basically at the very southeast end of the lake on the north side of quandary you start up a 200ft slab that then hits a knife edge ridgeline. I went right around a series of three towers on the ridge and then met up with the standard east ridge route. I have read some trip reports of people that encounter a 5.6 chimney, but I didn't see one. The slab climbing was nice, not too hard. I parked my car at the McGulough trailhead (spelling) and then hiked up a fairly well established trail past an old mine. You will know that you are on the right trail if you pass the mine with the "trespassers will be shot on sight" sign. There are a few switchbacks past the mine and then there is a cairned trail that takes you toward the arete. I have put up one other rock route in the area, "The Unforgiven" which goes at 5.4. That route is on one of the more eastern rock aretes. I think you can shave off a bunch of time if you don't take the real east ridge trail down, but cut off early to the car. Also, heads up for rockfall, there was some stuff coming down. |
