Damn DeC!! You made it to the exaulted status of super sprayer! (Or just plain genius) How's that gunna make dru feel? Be merciful.

To catch the route in 'prime condition' the best time is actually late fall. When there has been an ealy season snow fall then a warm indian summer. Like this year Any time in spring or early summer you will find it in snow/neve condition.

You shoulda seen the place before it was rebuilt. Wasn't much in those days.

How much did my wife pay you to tell me this? I don't understand what her motivation would be? Your rotten bivy partner is her treasured bivy partner... she's not as shy as you. You wretch! You made me retch, with the visual!

The spot goatboy suggests will accomodate a troop of boy scouts, and girl scouts to keep them company. Still lots of snow there for water.

Date of Climb: 8/26/2006 Trip Report: Found the route to quite enjoyable despite copious quantites of loose rock. Bivied after the steep snow/ice slope. Pitched out about 4 pitches from the start on Torment. Back in BB by 1 or so. Kicked back a couple hours and hiked out. No digitals, sorry. Have to wait for film. Gear Notes: Small alpine rack. Used 2 screws, could'a used maybe 2 more. One 50 mtr. rope was just swell.

Climb: Mt. mendel-Left couloir (Ice 9) Date of Climb: 8/19/2006 Trip Report: The mythical Ice 9 proved at least to some extent, to be mythical. Getting over the first chockstone Switch to rock mode at crux bulge. (No ice) ice in the upper couloir couloirs on approach Gear Notes: Brought much, used none.

If I got smart with you, how would you know?

Climbed Twilight Pillar last month. Was a little disappointed.

Headed up for ice 9 next week, fingers crossed.

Damn!!

Its a pretty notorius area. We experienced a crevasse fall there in 2002 and a guided party a couple days behind us had their lead guide fall in and get a little beat up. My condolences to the family and friends.

I've heard Chuck Norris can kick your ass.

Met/know the daughter. A beautiful well adjusted girl.
