Is someone going to climb the thing behind it and over the roof next?

Hey Dane, I'm soo sorry you took offense to comments about your photos. Of course everything looks good to go in front a computer screen. But you have to take what many respond to it with a grain of salt sometimes. You crack me up. I don't really care what you soloed and what boots you are wearing. Last time I checked rob and I climbed chair peak just before xmas last month, although not up the NF. Next time we'll all walk on eggshells for you.

Re-Hey Sexual Chocolate, when I squint a little, I can still see the coat hanger scar on your forehead. *****************************

It looks thin in those photos but good to go. j_b (inversion layer babbler) shut up. People were climbing shit like Guye Peak the day you babbled about mixed routes not being climbable or in good shape. Get over yourself. Nice photos.

Nice work everyone. It goes to show inversion layer may mean suffering on the walk in and out but does not necessarily mean it will put all mixed or ice routes out of commission. Eh there j_b? GregW, who cares if there was not a whole lot of ice on the route? I am sure there was some and that the fun was genuine. Got some nice climbing in myself in another spot.

Figgers. I heard you drill sergeanted capp up some cool ice last month. What's next?

somebody should rap bolt it.

I'm gonna bivy at the base of the mtn tonight.

My bet is that someone like colin or those 2 dudes I saw up at Edlo a few months back will climb it. Not necessarily any one of them but they are capable.............

RE-I am wondering what will happen if we ever get a really cold snap. ********************************************** We get it. The year Drury Falls was climbed like 5 times at least sounded like a good example. I remember thinking "I am major bumgy don't event think about it" that season. There was time when we had good cold spells for it..... ********************************************* My guess is many who think themselves "experienced" will make some very bad decisions when the next real cold snap arrives. ***************************************************************************************************************************** "Experienced" is a relative term. When you walk up to that thing in winter it deserves attention, willingness, experience, common sense and motivation. Someone will send it. It just takes many formulas to match up. To imply that mass people will attempt it and get killed or hurt is a possible reality as with any route. But to thwart it like it will never happen is ridiculous and silly. There will always be people that attempt routes they are not qualified on. That's not necessarily any one person's fault. I think it's great the route is in the book. I think it's even greater that I can think of the day when someone tells us\me how it was. It may very well be a classic and you don't know it. Jim makes excellent books and thought they may have errors what book does not? For instance thousands will inevitably climb rated r\x routes of rock all year long.

Re-I think that gash down the middle of the mountain has a name. It's probably been climbed too. ******************************** What is that? Part of the Doug Klewin Dan McNerthy route? It looks intense! They are not schoolchildren....

For the aid climbers\skiers out there - my bud Bob owns the company and is a pretty cool dude. He lives out of Revelstoke. http://www.helicanada.com/

last I heard fred climbed in jtree last week with north by northwest and charlie. Mentioned to me something about skiing in utah after that. that probably means he's trying a 1st ascent somwhere though

Read the polls guys. I dont think anyone's dubbed it death route. But then again nobody's climbed it that participated in the poll either.

With more ascents knowledge of a route increases. It doesnt make things safer or easier but the impression of a route may change. Take the POLL And who has their chutes packed??!

Some may dash up what you and I call death terrain unroped without much thought.

I call it gaper-adventure

I buy beer. It never goes bad.

Maybe but pictures do some justice in convincing his route is good. Not that other routes are not. BTW I spoke with my buddy- he's mistaken his friend never climbed it.

damnit someone figured me out. Back to my weatherman and puegot \ miata comments. Where is j_b now?

Naw but I wasted a lot of time and entertained a number of people

peace thru power and war. Conquer

I got plans. My partner is the jap anese dude you saw in Yosemite this summer.

RE-Can't we just all get along ********************** No

He must be racing his puegot or miata up to the pass right now
