Sausage Party

Rating: WI3-
Length: 80 meters
Pitches: 2

Moderate neighbor of Four Doors More Hoars.  Start on a mellow, juicy curtain that leads to a snow slope and the second pitch – a bulgy blob that offers many line choices.  Worth a go if you happen to be in the area.

Length: 35 meters
Pitches: 1

Climb up through some alders on frozen dirt with occasional moss sticks. Climb a corner with dirt and moss mostly, with enough ice to possibly get in a stubbie. Once on top of ledge with trees, climb up the main piece of ice to eventually gently traverse the rock section to the right smear. There is tat on the tree at the end of the ice.

FA: Unknown

Descent: Rap from tree.

This almost never formed climb can be found in the Rocks about 50′ pass Greensprings. follows a seep of thin ice, in a sort of dihedral.

FA: Steve Davis, 1986

Descent: V-thread on good ice, on 2025 the sun baked the top part so a piece of cord and a rap ring were left on a tree.

Four Doors More Hoars

Rating: WI3-4, M4
Length: 90 meters
Pitches: 4

First Pitch is 45m – the left side is a 25m vertical pillar and the right side is a 10m pillar followed by easier ice.

Second Pitch is a 20m starting at near vertical for the first half then easing off in angle.

Third Pitch is Mixed with fun easy climbing but only 12m in length.

Forth Pitch is a 12m vertical pillar.

From here the climbing is done. Continue snow climbing 1600ft to the summit of Mat Benchmark or reverse the route.

FA:

Descent: Rappel off alders using a single 60m will get you down all the pitches if you v thread the 1st pitch. Twin 60s will you get you down the 1st pitch.
