Hey whatever man. I have climbed that peak a few times. Everyone has their own ideas. Most of the times alternate anchors are found on ledges and you can walk around safely anyhow. I have never used more than one rope. One time I used a single 30 meter line too.

Hiking = good exercise more burgers

I can't say I would bring 2 ropes for rappels. Nor would I recommend carrying the extra stuff in there. It sounds like you hit some wind.

Nisqually is the shortest approach. Cant be it. But I cant figure out what the point was. Although I dont see why anyone would want to climb the upper portion of the glacier above and left of muir directly. [ 10-07-2002, 12:20 PM: Message edited by: Cpt.Caveman ]

Did anyone have issues with the reverso when the anchors were below or at waist level with 2 ropes? seemed like much a pain in the ass to me and I preferred to not use it in the hyped up manner of belaying 2 followers in this situation. I guess it's really not a design flaw initially but it almost seemed like the device was rendered useless in this situation if you asked me since the rope management sucked ass. Maybe perfect belays work better

In all due respect I think Air Guitar name should rename. May we all think of Göran if we hear or do this climb with a loud nad\or famous guitar riff (which one you may choose in your own mind) since he is a memorable and notable person in history With a memory like that everyone will have a unique but positive thought

anyone going from east side Would like a ride

I would stick clip with 300$ aluminum trekking poles and a

quote: Originally posted by klenke: Yeah, with a helicopter you can. I wouldn't say it's quite that far fetched. There are a number of people around here that have climbed for instance the Serpentine Ridge then W R PRusik then down snow creek in a day. That's just one example and there are plenty that have done a little harder too.

Not even just forced to bivy, but made it back to the car and sworn that you would never try something like it again... ? Blah, Yeah but when the memory fades I just repeat history

quote: Originally posted by Dru: Can we do them all in 1 day? You might be fast pressed to fit in the Boxtop (if your Gumby level is similar to mine) but I am sure it can be done. You can bail almost at any time from the ridge anyway. There are several short 5.8 jamcracks on each formation. Might need a little more gear depending on your comfort. I recommend heading over to the Monument at least. [ 10-07-2002, 03:41 PM: Message edited by: Cpt.Caveman ]

Yeah that is a killer peak (wonder why I did it 3 times in 12 months ). Dru you ever gonna climb it or what The tree colors add to the photo quality. [ 10-07-2002, 11:47 AM: Message edited by: Cpt.Caveman ]
