skykilo Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 One, be careful as the weeks progress and don't fall in the lake like an idiot when it starts to melt. Two, inside sources reveal that there may be an elevated objective hazard on Triple Couloirs tomorrow, Saturday, 26 April 2008. Climbers please steer clear.

fenderfour Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Dude, I hate it when people call "dibs" on routes. Mountaineers suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skykilo Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 Nobody's calling dibs. It's just fair warning. Would you want someone skiing above you... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skykilo Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 Somehow my skis got left in my yard on Friday night, making for a frustrated Saturday. Yesterday we got stopped by blank slabs and rotten snice about halfway up the runnels. The first pitch was really fun ice, though. The snow was way too sloppy anyway. Next time....

AlpineK Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 It's just a friendly heads up to climbers who are going to whimper when they get their ropes cut. Go climb somewhere that isn't a ski route or pay the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
