Went up last weekend More at www.questalb.com Good conditions, glacier was benign with tons of people on the summit block

I agree on the NE Ledges. It went quick when we MysticNacho and I did it, but then again we rapped on pitch 5 of 7?..... Either way, it was mentally nerveracking because of the exposure and that thought of "Just one bad foot placement..." Good gear would be far and few between on the ledges IMO, since almost every handhold I tested seemed to wiggle. Maybe you could lasso some heather? I think we were a little low on the exit and had to do a few mid 5th class moves to get back up to where we were supposed to be. I really want to get back and finish that route this year........ Nice job Tony and Paul - great photos but I sure wish Paul would get a freakin digital camera. Those scanned images come out a little weird.

Serious Mountain Porn.

Yup, that's Mark©.

This one kills me: Approach #3 - Hide in the Bushes. This approach depends on the fallibility of the human guidance system in the morning (see approach #1). Get up early and hike to where you get ALMOST lost (this is key), and hide in the bushes until the next party comes along. Then stealthily hike behind them and wait for them to go up the wrong route. Then, by process of elimination, find the RIGHT route! Note: if you are detected on the trail - try to look skyward and whistle. This looks completely innocent. They will assume you are bird watchers or hikers. If this fails, put on your helmet. They will assume you are mountaineers, somehow separated from your flock, and therefore are no threat. Remember, the early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese!

Never worn, brand new - still in box. Retail: $435.00 Sell: $325.00 Size 42 (Mens 9 to 9.5) From www.scarpa-us.com "The Cumbre is the most technical and innovative leather ice climbing boot ever produced by SCARPA. Taking high mountain performance to a new level, this boot features a unique Articulated Ankle Flex Zone that allows climbers freedom of movement in contrived positions, while providing valuable protection for both the heel and ankle. The Cumbre’s Trilogy Tech Sole System combines three materials to create a supportive sole that offers rigidity and sensitivity at the same time. Even better, the PrimaLoft insulation provides superb thermal insulation, while keeping weight at a minimum. Fully insulated, with a full rubber rand, the sole of the Cumbre has been designed for ultimate crampon security. Both technical ice climbers and mountaineers will be psyched on this boot’s comfort and performance.
