[TR] Sharpen the Saw: Sawtooth Ridge Traverse
wayne replied to emilio taiveaho pelaez's topic in Olympic Peninsula
Well, this is, indeed, a unique pleasure! I never would’ve thought this would have seen a repeat attempt, and of course this is the first one I’ve heard of. I am so glad you enjoyed it. Such adventure !! I grew up climbing on choss, so that rock actually felt pretty solid to me, but we probably varied our lines from in our respective route fighting efforts. Cheers again to you, and we are running out of climbs of mine that haven’t seen a second attempt! I can only think of a few left at this point. -
You will have to add 2 rests to be viable. I tried a couple of different methods and they were bulky and cold to the touch. My conclusion: there are amazing tools out there, If ice and mixed are going to be your sport perhaps you should invest in it?

Not sure if you’re set up for it but I would love to do some thing in winter.

I’m becoming more familiar with the once a year multi pitch lifestyle myself unfortunately, good one guysAlso I’ve heard those pesky drytool guys are taking over the negative anyhow... -
Yes I’d love to have one thanks!!

Quite the summer this is turning out to be for all you guys! It’s like the mid 2000s all over again!! It’s great to see “my work” become appreciate it after all these years. I had a feeling it would, I just didn’t think it would take this long. Just everybody stay away from that route I did On Logan, and we will all be OK!

Well done and what a a strong team you two are! Great to see you two even try it after P+J let some air out of the sails. It was great to have you as well as pj over for dinner too! Anyone that climbs that rig gets a free dinner at my place! The Pole is pretty special place, hope it gets even more traffic.

[TR] North Pickets - Mongo Ridge (Tower 1) 07/01/2022
wayne replied to Jake Johnson's topic in North Cascades
Great report you guys! You’ll be interested to know that just a couple of days after your attempt, my friends Sam and Lani were able to do The Ridge and the Pole. They found one of your cams and used it extensively. Lani has started a report on Instagram. Again great work up there I’m glad you have your priorities right, Wayne -

wayne replied to JeffreyW's topic in North Cascades
Wow, I can’t believe I overlooked replying to this amazing trip report! It must’ve skipped my mind somehow. What an amazing effort you to put in to my big sand bag. As I write this U2 are in the Karakoram and I haven’t heard anything for weeks. My heart is out there with you once again! Love Wayne- 16 replies

Nice work! Love it

My own conjecture would be that Mark was both inspired by our cascade climbers reports, and a bit put off by the self-promotion media that we rolled at the time? Being one of the few solo climbers att, I wanted to be real careful how I presented the game and not pull any punches with how different and risky it can be. Yes I romanticized it, and that game can be rewarding af, but it becomes pretty obvious quick that the stakes are all in. I wish I could have met him, and I recently ran across Brett, but didn’t want to assert my need to connect at the time. It’s pretty easy to see being friends with either of them. It’s so cool that we have a era frozen in time that we can pass on to future generations!

wayne replied to Michael Telstad's topic in Alpine Lakes
Thanks for spelling out with this traverse is really like. People were so in love with it, that when I did it I didn’t want to pop that bubble, but I had nothing good to say about it other than the north ridge Stuart is always really cool. -
