Hey Marc. I sent you a PM. Check your inbox. Cheers, Matt

Thanks everybody for the beta. I may have missed my weather window this year, but I'll be sure to keep a close eye on it next spring.

Stormy weather, Congrats on the climb and thanks for the TR. I would describe myself, much like you...that is, I'm at ease on rock and have lead a very few ice pitches in the WI2-WI3 range. I've also been thinking of doing TC, and it would be my first big alpine route of this nature. I'm curious what your thoughts are on this being your first big alpine snow/ice route? In hindsight, do you wish you'd chosen something more conservative, or did the route seem appropriate as a first big alpine snow/ice climb? Thanks for your input.

Where are all the weeekday climbers in Seattle? I'm relatively new to Seattle and would love to find regular climbing partners with weekday availability. I usually have two weekdays off every week. Right now my main interest is pushing the grades at Little Si and Index. I used to climb easily in the mid-12's...now, after a stint in grad school I'm psyched to project those same grades and move beyond. If you share my view that World Wall I and Index are perfect training grounds for getting stronger, then definitely shoot me a line. I'm looking for motivated, psyched, good-spirited climbers who are looking to get stronger, and who are willing to put in alpine starts in order to get back in time for dinner with the family. Strong belay skills are a must. I don't like to mess around when it comes to safety. If interested, I'd love to meet up at a gym or for a hike to see if our interests align.
