Anyone interested in the West slabs of Olympus this weekend? Early start out of the sun. I know nothing about what I'm getting into. It's a long rock route, I think it is pretty easy (5.6?) for Saturday. Sunday is the paddle festival at Little Dell Resivoir. (actually it happens Saturday as well, but I'm only going Sunday) let's see if anyone actually reads this.
Cheers!

I would but I am going to the Mike the headless chicken fest in Fruita Colorado this weekend.
Beta on the route: if you do it with gear then you should simulclimb it in one or two long pitches, or just solo it. There are only a few sections that are really exposed. To decend from the summit ridge go west down along the ridge till you get to a low-angle gully. Go down this gully, which is just as steep as the slabs but has a bit more feature (debatable) making it less exposed, till it emptys you out back above the snowy coulour that you just climbed up. Go down the way you came up! Do not go down the scrub oak gully to the skiiers left of the decent! According to Bobby this is a nightmare.
