I spoke with pms and he said that he believed the Girth Pillar route was still intact. I showed him my photo...

Here you can look at what I was talking about. This is about 2 months old so....... Thanks to Mike Adamson letting me post them on his webserver.

Jens and Loren did it this year in swift time. I think the hardest part might be passing the schrunds near the final exit chute from what I could see. However I aint never done it and they might have better info for sure. I ditto the bombing effect by Lambone but it is getting colder too.. I have a photo or 2 if you want to look.. David just how can you say a thing like you did and expect it not to be interpreted as directed at me since I was the only person that had responded about the ice cliff glacier at all? Open mouth and insert foot. [This message has been edited by Cpt.Caveman (edited 09-28-2001).]

I have never used anything but Rambo comps and switchblades. After the first time I used the Grivels I wanted to throw away the BDs. They are "sticky" with the monopoints and displace less ice in my opinion making for more efficient climbing because they seemed to place in the ice easier. my 2cents

Gosh guys if I were going along we would definitely have the 6 pack rollin' ! I cannot survive without it.

David if you read my post closely you see that I say it can be done. If you dont like it dont tell me to shut up unless you expect me to take it as an insult. Maybe you have been climbing ice for 16 years but not me. So I put in my 2 cents and you did not like it. Feel free to send me a personal message if you want to be more of an asshole than you just have been! What I really suspect is that you hold some hidden grudge against me because I am a voiceful person on this website. Get real. [This message has been edited by Cpt.Caveman (edited 09-28-2001).]

Good to hear there is more going on out there and I want to stir some shit up cuz nobody is talking about it. Personally Matt I don't care about some of those routes. I think that someone here knows more than what is being said for sure though. I am not going to worry about them for now. But if I come up to a missing anchor you can bet your ass I might replace it if I think it needs it.

Seriously it looked pretty well melted out over a month ago but possibly doable on the upper snow chute. Have at it but I think it is not the wisest time to do it. I bet it can be done if you are persistant.

Dru somehow I think your skinny ass would get romped trying to play hockey. You are a mere spectator stick boy

I know we are sluts to this funny site!

We are on the same team dude.

old news on here lisa already posted it.

I always considered myself as a walking penalty waiting to happen. Isnt the whole intent of hockey to beat your opponents into bloody pulps anyways

Thanks to my Koflach's I can now lead WI2 too

Good luck and have fun. Get a 100oz bladder. I swear by them when I alpine climb.

Nice work what is the pro size?

Bring a light stove and melt a ton of water from the glacier. It gets lighter as you climb anyways. If you do the Gendarme then haul your pack if you think it is too heavy. Most of the climbing is mid to low 5th class on good rock anyhow.

It is obviously some sort of vandalism. I don't see any debate. If you guys don't fix them then I certainly will the next time I am in the area.

I thought everyone had stickers of Good Ole Britney SpearME plastered on their helmets?

Hmm what a dare ==> drink from the Crooked River I would like to see if someone turned out like that 80s B movie "Toxic Avenger"!

Chlorine and Iodine tabs are good options. Heavy burden carrying those things and they leak and dont work that great from my experiences. I have used MSR and Sweet Water brands. I was not impressed.
