    I bet you wouldnt post a TR now because you aint done squat, Layton.
  13. Ive gotta say though, they are more fun when happening to other people Mike, I would do the route again in a flash, if there were a better descent, like maybe a snowmobile waiting in Spoon Creek or some friends with snowshoes or skis on the summit ridge meeting me. But otherwise the long tired dark slog out was what made it a 1-time-only thing.
  14. I never said suffering and misery werent fun, Matt.

    The only difference between a desert spire and an adjacent cliff of say, Wingate sandstone, is that the spire has a much smaller diameter. American desert spires, with only few exceptions, are cragging, not alpine. The same goes for the sandstone in Wadi Rum and so on. Antarctica is glaciated etc. so Id call those alpine. Ditto Patagonian spires. Has nothing to do with the height of the mts. in question.
  16. You could make Marmite/Vegemite flavour with home made.

    Desert spires are a type of cragging albeit one that gets you to the summit. I have climbed a few. I think they are sufficiently covered by the current climbing mags and there is no need for Alpinist to do so too.

    I read somewhere that the Russians experimented with using neutrino beam acupuncture to speed healing in the 1980s, with some success. They were able to get a dog to regrow a severed leg. However the process was never tested on humans due to the unfortunate side effects.

    Does Trask Climb

    He's real hot shit with a Search engine though and some folks believe the man might hike a bit. At least as far as the fridge for more beer.

    Yeah more of this banter! If it was out of shape y'all should have helicoptered in a bunch of liquid nitrogen and flashfrozen the sucker together for the successful redpoint. If you couldnt afford a helicopter obviously youu arent a real Alpinist

    If its "dedicated to alpine" I have to wonder why the big feature on (yawn) desert spire climbing. Or the fiction piece about some aging tradster out with his buddy. Or the recycled Kennan Harvey photos. I also disliked the fact that they had Tami Knight write and had someone else (Jeremy Collins, yawn) do the art! What the , don't they understand that Tami's CARTOONS are her main strength???? And there were a lot of typos and minor errors just like when Beckwith ran the AAJ. But I still bought a copy and have reread it several times!
