Mt Si Haystack Climb

Climbing the Haystack to reach the summit of Mt Si, August 2009. Video is sped up to 4x speed to be slightly less boring.

I brought my helmet because I didn't know how hard it would be (newly moved to Washington). I've seen it called class 3 in a book, and class 4 in conversation by a few people. Well, it was a lot easier that I thought it'd be. In terms of the rock "difficulty", I guess it's barely class 3? The final short bit to the top once you reach the notch (1:10 to 1:30) feels more exposed because you suddenly see all the way down the West side side of the mountain. I guess it depends on your interpretation of the YDS scale. It wouldn't be pleasant if wet, though.
