What a beautiful flow. I'm glad Colfax let you pass and complete the climb without any injuries!

Great read! You have a gift for writing and bringing the reader with you.

Nice moves Troy. Glad you had a good adventure and didn't get hurt in that fall! Scary stuff. Gotta love the Twight-esque writing style. It takes a certain kind of climb to put a climber in the mood to write like that.

That is quite a story! Glad everything held! Some people say that if you want to push yourself and you aren’t failing then you are trying. I’m past pushing myself like that but appreciate people who do.

Good write up Troy! Glad you came away from the fall with just a bruised ego.

I can't speak to the other routes but SW Ridge on Peak 11300 is very good. The climbing was never hard but it was in a great position. I seem to remember most of it was simul climbing terrain. We did it as a preparation for climbing the Cassin (which we never ended up doing). I would personally recommend it as just a great route up there. I have notes somewhere if you wanted more details but I think there is a fair bit online too. Two weeks in early/mid May is a great trip in there!!

The void at the center of the human condition will never be filled with climbing (at least it wasn't for me), but it is a fun hobby. Glad you survived unscathed to continue your quest! The Polish route has always looked burly, and this TR confirms that it isn't to be taken lightly...
