Nice nominations. I think DFA takes the cake. He's not climbed squat in months.

Danke stefan. Wayne when you read this let me know what you think. Didn't you and Harmon climb one of those things?

Thanks forrest. That sounds like good info for EMS. The photos always made it look real menacing, until I saw that it was not totally vertical.

Those things look pretty cool. A lot cooler than the books make them look like with b+w photos... I especially like the looks of the Dorado Needle. Wayne have you climbed the Cauthorn Pilling route on that? or anyone else?.. Looking at how long it takes a human being to climb that thing and how easy or hard the descent off it is.

That should read "Smoky McPot and the Muir hut"

Tell them Canadians to start ice farming and hurry up with it

Hey Lizzy, I bet that was a nice bivy. I was too lazy to walk up there. pms took this photo of some unknown Icelandic climber - http://www.DisposableCameraAlpinePhotography.com has more-

<-- Tim is this your face? Be careful sexual choconuts might spray some fresh stuff on it.

One time I was in Ranger School. There was this dude the cadre kept calling crs aka - Cant remember shit

Chongo now that if funny!

Freeze!

Joshk, the snow was good after the second talus field. Not good enough for skiing then (but snow is falling now ) The only skiable snow was on the glacier as of yesterday afternoon. That will likely change today. It all really depends on what you are thikning about... Do you regualry ski the talus field in the winter or ??? I'd be happy to offer more info but would speculate that it is shit for now as far as kiing is concerned. Send PM....

Damn should I edit the Return of the Jedi every day

cs hey bro- that is cool. I actually thought that might be the better approach too but after confering with my partner that had climbed the peak over 20 times I had to shut up ( I guess we call that beta ). No smart ass thoughts intended. You guys did good. Glad to see everyone had a great time.

I will never be as cool as Kit Lewis (my hero).

That's fucked up Save the rescues for the real deal

Youre silly alex. it is a good route weather or not lots of people like to climb it. If there were that many people on the nr of stuart nobody would say a thing. It's not like anyone thought it was a testpiece project from what I understood anyway. Considering how long it probably stays in and the new guidebook (which you never would have looked at the route most likely if it did not exist) as well as the thanksgiving holiday being the previous weekend i was counting on lots of people. Discrediting the route because you have not climbed it and tons of people have, or because you were to lazy to go up there and went to the rockies instead is gay. But hey that is your loss- I guess I am not going to climb the Weeping wall because it has seen thousands of ascents and has 10 people on it during a weekday *stupid-rolleyes* everyone was friendly and some blood was left from Zee on the route. Cheers to the fellow climbers BTW kudos to Colin for the solo - pretty tough day trip I think. Also the 2 guys that came down the trail at 10 am from their day trip -hardcore- I think they soloed it too as well in micro time. Phukin A

ok i was cornfused. That line does look pretty good though....

Hey the pin was put there by me not mitch.. as far as I know he's never climbed the route either.. it's a hard to clip spot for gumbies. Put a bolt in it for all I care...

TR - 9 people climbed route. 3 of us on one rope simul climb it in 5 pitches.... Almost feel sorry for the guys that came in from Sibley. Probably spent another night out.

All my best climbs I had 35 packs of gu and 4 packs of cytomax in my pack.

Anyone up for swapping some crag leads at Index tomorrow? Gimme an email or message back rayborbon@hotmail.com

Any time Dave. Any time. Here's my email. rayborbon@hotmail.com send me a message and we can duke it out offline. My guess is that you wont show or you will wimp out which is just as bad.

Good luck my friend. If not just start soloing.
