Date: August 28, 2006 (Mon)Trip Report #: 34Partner: solo

Route: NW Arête (5.2-5.4)

After our trip to the Bugaboos, Jason Cullum and I stopped to climb this Fifty Classic. When we got to the base of the route, Jason decided the route was too long and exposed for his tastes, so I continued up the 3000ft ridge alone. This was a great route to solo, with the grade a consistent 5.2 on super solid quartzite. It took me just under 2 hours to reach the summit from the col. The round trip car to car (involving 6,700 vertical feet up and back down) took 8 hours.
