@@summitspecials :D You got jokes! I like. One day we'll sit around a fire and trade terrible mom and grosser than gross jokes. But until then have you even seen the opening on tealsin that the usgs claims is there allowing one to peer into the cone?
That was a gangly pitch guy dude. I have a fresh vision in my head from climbing yesterday. Definitely a better pitch to rap down. I’m impressed so I just subscribed to see your other climbs.
Enjoying your videos! I don't see any summit registers on these peaks you've been climbing, like there are on Mt. McLoughlin, Mt. Shasta and Shastina. I wonder why that is? Maybe too hard to replace?
Not sure lol.. I've always wondered who manages those on the peaks I do find them on. Like what do they do with info scribbled into a composition book?
@@summitspecials I know the Summit Registers for Mt. Shasta are labeled "USFS" and they are stored at a Library in Berkeley, CA. The ones in Oregon, I don't know what happens to those.
Ugh! That scared the SNARF outta me! I've done the "easier" route to the east.. kinda on the face.. way easier. But then again it was in the mid nineties and I don't know if it even exists any more. Someone spray painted spots on the route so it was a no brainer. I was glad to follow them. I was top roped but it was sketchy with my casual belayer! Great climb Alex!
@@summitspecials I wish I could send pictures but my fire crew and I spent a couple days up there this last summer during the lighting storms and it was phenomenal.
My anchor was the red strap with rappel ring. The rope was just looped through so that I could pull it down from the bottom. If you go up a summit like Thielsen, Washington, or Broken Top, you'll likely find the same setup left behind by other climbers. If I come across one in good shape I will use it and leave it, but if it is pinched, torn, sun damaged, or otherwise compromised, I'll consider it trash and collect it or add a loop of cord to reinforce it. This is the way 😉
The grabs weren't bad and I was able to maintain three points of contact the whole way. I was just extremely careful not to dislodge anything and there were a couple spots where it was hard to decide which side of the rock to go around 🤙
;) ... I wish I could have gotten better view points on it. I know it can be hard to gauge how vertical something on camera, especially with the head cam.
Intense climb! Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thanks for watching!!
Just subscribed 799 subs whoop whoop 💯🤘🏻
Much appreciated!!
Nice! Have you ever gone inside?
...of your mother? Yes... haha sry couldn't resist. Thanks for the comment 🤙

You went up the hard way. If you approached the summit pyramid on the east side, it’s a 10 minute scramble to the summit.
I definitely agree with you 🤙

Should done rabbit ears just a few miles south west from diamond lake.
Looks cool. I hadn't heard of rabbit ears before. Took me a minute to find online lol. Would like to check it out

70?
60m rope
@@summitspecials 5.7 route
How did you get that rope down. Just leave it their?

What would you grade that last 20 foot section on the summit block? I’ve heard it graded anywhere from 5.3-5.9
I'm not to confident in rating and wouldn't want to steer you wrong. I think 5.3-5.9 is in ballpark
Did you up-climb and down-climb both on the west side? Is there a rappel loop on the west side? Thanks.
I did. There was only a loop on the East side, but I set my own up on the West.
Dang the side you went up was a little sketch/vertical in some areas, kudos doing it with gloves on I’d want bare hands and chalk haha

What gloves are you using?
Just some cheap ski gloves made by Scott. I've been using the camp gloves with windmitts more recently.
dude that last pitch was sketchy af
