quote: Originally posted by Cpt.Caveman: What if someone hired a rope ninja guide and just followed all those routes. It would be cheaper to spend the guide fee on Corona and limes for yourself.

quote: Originally posted by fern: however the variation finish which traverses far left at the start of the sixth pitch and continues up blueberry and mud choked chimmenies sports ONE thrilling move of 5.10 lichen slab. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Dont forget to gaze in awe at the hibachi on the 12th pitch of the variation which was carried up to center summit sometime in the era of stubby beer bottles and then thrown from the top!

ya, otherwise necro might have to buy beer for alex bertulis or pete doorish or something

the fern/dru start which traverses 5 pitches of dirt and trees from kashmir wall to join in at the top of pitch 2 on the topo, is not recommended unless you are a botanist.

quote: Originally posted by Cpt.Caveman: I think both routes I mentioned are right on par with those Dru I heard neither is as impressive as the Haystack Nordwand on Si.

And at 4:20 we find I made 45 posts or so today... 6 an hour more or less. I should start a Sprayers Workout outfit like Charles Atlas did.

quote: Originally posted by Geek the Greek: Bah, if Chinaman's was the original name, it should stand. Changing the name in the hope of undoing a lot of historical racism is BS. Keep the original name as a reminder of all the Chinese blood that was spilled building the trans-can railroad. I support changing its name to Mt. Dru after my historic ascent in 2002. Although really a more appropriate name would be Mt. Szechuan Potsticker cause that is what it looks like if you squint.

Hmm, a chosspile or Squamish. Big hard choice

quote: Originally posted by TimL: Dynos, sloppers, dirty slabs and OW cracks are all something I can deal with, but class 5 shoulder stands? Please Fred Beckey, come out and give us a clue here? Is it awaiting a first "free" ascent? Yeah you better call the mags when you do the FFA of that route. If you don't use a piton for safety you can claim first clean ascent too

trask can hand out horsecock samples at the swapmeat. i will volunteer to be in charge of the kegs.

quote: Originally posted by Cpt.Caveman: quote:Originally posted by Dru: how about a winter ascent of ne buttress of slesse pms/lewis style? that would be cooler than any of those other routes. It probably would not form up enough the thought of dry tooling and slamming pitons into a classic "clean pro" summer route is irresistable though.

quote: Originally posted by TimL: Does anyone have information on any of the routes in this part of the Temple Range? Basically I'm looking for any information on Mt. Temple, Razorback Spire, Comet Spire, The Meteor, The Professor and Lighthouse Tower. Also wondering if an ice axe and crampons would be reccomended for this area this time of year or should most of the snow in the basin below temple Ridge be gone by now? BTW - One of the best Beckey descriptions I've come acrossed happens to be for the Meteor. "This short but exposed route involved two shoulder stands to gain lichened slab. Class 4 or 5) Here is some information: look under a certain boulder near Smoke-a-thai wall to find a hiden cache of Capt Caveman equipment probably chewed up and covered with pellets.

quote: Originally posted by klenke: Would that be two shoulder stands at the same time or at different times? If the former, it would be kind of hard to do with two people. Three people would work. I wonder if a three-person (triple) shoulder stand has ever happened in climbing history. I saw some picture of some East Germans doing a 6 man human pyramid somewhere in the Elbesandstein where climbing on your partners is considered free and not aid.

how about a winter ascent of ne buttress of slesse pms/lewis style? that would be cooler than any of those other routes.

quote: Originally posted by Heinrich: From Friday-Sunday the Joffre group was nice up in the great white north. T-storms all around but sunny overhead. We had the whole place to ourselves, just a few backpackers down at the lakes. Sounds like things were a bit wetter down here. what routes didja do?

quote: Originally posted by Goat Boy: Damn. I suck. Any advice on a free posting site whose url will work here? yeah, use the Cascadeclimbers.com uploadable photo album. See Allisons avatar thread for address if you cant find it by searching the front page

Stevie Haston will call you a wanker and say that he did it first, then his wife did it, then he soloed it and Jeff Lowe will say he invented it no matter what the Euros claim

you can fight it out with anna for who gets to marry me

quote: Originally posted by Jason Martin: This is actually a pretty cool challenge, beer or no beer. Though I agree with Forrest. I think the finish date should be a month later. May 15th Perhaps? Jason it should be "calendar winter" december 21 to march 20 or whatever. no cheating using long spring days and warm temperatures, or cold novembers with no snow or avvy hazard to climb the routes!

even though it is a sport climb you will need a helmet. i think trask has a purple one he will let you use.
