Whore House Hoses
Posted at 5:45pm on Jan 12th 2010 by Grey Squirrel
Popped over the pass to Eureka today to sample the superb multi-pitch terrain. We saw a party hiking up towards Stairway so elected to climb Whore House Hoses instead.
The climb is in very fat shape along with a nice packed trail right to the base. The first pitch is pretty well bucket steps, but veer right above the 'avocado leaves' and you'll find some superb WI5 ice. We climbed the left side of the final pitch and found perfect plastique conditions and nice steep climbing - probably WI5 minus.
Perhaps my favorite moderate in the range. Great ambiance and currently in excellent condition.
Also included is a photo of Stairway which looks blue and plastic.
