This is a new 6 pitch 5.7 climb on Cascade. The
description can be found on gripped magazine's
website: http://gripped.com/news/wheat-
kings-is-new-seven-pitch-bolted-5-7-in-rockies
The climbing is quite easy and should be
friendly for beginners wanting to do their
first multipitch.
This trip is ROCK IT friendly, but the descent
is a rappel, so you must have attended our
rappelling info sessions and be comfortable
rappelling with supervision. I am happy to
provide a second set of eyes to double check
your set up, but I am not going to teach
rappelling 225m off the ground.
To have 4 followers, we will need at least 2
people who can provide a safe lead belay.
If you have not climbed with me or Tobias
before, please send me a list of any quick
resume of climbing you have done (including if
you have done a multi-pitch before). ROCK IT
people, please let me know what instruction
sessions you have attended and what climbing
you have done outside of the instructional
sessions.
Required Items to Bring:
Harness, Helmet, shoes, belay device, some sort
of anchor system (Personal Anchor, Purcell
Prussik etc), actual prussic or holoblock for
the rappell, WATER, sunscreen, coat, small
backpack you are comfortable climbing with,
food
Recommended Items to Bring:
Camera
How to Get There:
