I just caught on to r-head. I got the bends and am going to buy the best 2 lps of theirs which ones do I look for?

There is a little Mountie in us all.

Icky.

Is the pic of the stuck cam? One sweet route for chur

I noticed from the summit register ,that the peak doesnt get done that often . Long trail on the way out ! Sounds like you guys only camped one night? Good job.

The Seattle show will be at Second Ascent in Ballard . Sept. 10th at 7:00 pm

pardon my cynisism but I dont think this crowd is interested in posts UNLESS there is bs spray?

A friend of mine rapped late after soloing the lib crack and returned the next day to not find the rope he left stuck on the raps. Please contact me if you know any thing , thanks

i could be wrong but doesnt the b pole finish the same as tr line /

It was a great honor to host The Ed Cooper at both pub club(thanks Jim) and the Picket show. What a surprise cooincidence. He did 4 of the fas of the pickets we did and was the first to see the North cirque of the so picks as well. He proly did as many fas in the Picks as you know who. That is a place I am looking forward to visitn. Lets hear from people who have been there? Lowell is the only other person I have met.

Wow Lowell, Your route up, looks like near where my friend and I rapped down in the fog. It looked like good rock. Whats the rating/quality? As a rap route, It is good for getting around the monster shrund across the top of Terror Glacier.

I did an annoteted and topo copy of it but I may need Colin or Mark to load it to the site after we get permission from Gregg.

I am shamelessly advertising this amazing panorama of the Southern Pickets from Mt Truimph. It is a work of art. The guy sells unframed prints for cheap .Here is the Photo Here is the guys email: rgb@rgb.seanet.com The team will have more photos up soon as well. Thx

Can southern Pickets be combined with the north??

Tim grabbed the rope with his bare hands and saved me from a 400' deck fall. He caughtme after a 70 footer as it was. Then there was the solo 500fter on mixed snow and big cliffs that something up there got me through. We are all on borrowed time anyways

Ridge Traverses and enchainments may be our generations best chance at doing something "new" > most of the major faces and lines have been done. we need to be creative from here on.Either that or move to B.C.

Yes thank you,It was worth at least 1 and a half hats.

Is anyone on this board , not, in love with him?

Directions to the Show (Thanks Cat-bird) All 3 of us will be there.(: The First Congregational Church is on Rockafeller about a block north of Everett Avenue. Take I-5 to the Broadway exit and take Broadway to Everett Avenue and turn left, then right on Rockafeller. Alternately you can stay on the freeway and exit at Pacific Avenue and take it to Broadway and turn right, then left on Everett Avenue, etc. Aug 6. 7 pm The team requests folks carpool , Please. . We will figure out a Seattle show, And I do pdx when it rains.

The actual leads on the Monster are more serious, but at least you know whats ahead. What we did: Day 1: Hike in and do al the Macs, Seems big but not that bad with an early start. Day 2,Get over all peaks till you get over the blob. Good bivy on w. summit. Day 3: the only real issues are on E twin and Himml, interesting getting around to Frenz. Get out as far as you can. We bivvied in Crescent Basin. Day 4 Chopping block and over the barrier and out.I think it could be done in 1 less day , Maybe. It seems the issue is how many nights on the ridge? Fast, light team , Maybe 1 night on. The way out is long too. I would love to topo it . Sounds like alot of work though.

Speaking of Becky and trivia, What is the highest peak in WA that he Hasnt climbed?

I really enjoyed the line you guys started up. I just remmember the near stain in the shorts I got at the top

Thanks all ( Alp K too) I always seem to put my own foot too near my mouth .I apologize for relateing the route so much through me, poor style no doubt. Oh well. Please lets get over the Wayne stuff and focus on the important stuff. Most of my words are about the actual route. I would like to keep it that way, unless you would like to discuss the great set of partners that I had the honor to do this with, A better start to a career,I have never seen as I have with young Colin. Mark is one of the funniest people I have ever met. I couldnt wait to hear the next thing he said. Jens will deal with this route in great style given another chance at it. Dbb my apologies for the spot, you handle it much better than I would have. Everyone who put up with my obssesion with this thing. (especialy my best gal) So. back to the route.. There had to be others who thought of this . It is facinating to hear it. I couldnt talk about it as much as I wanted to. It was becoming the worst secret I ever tried to keep, I was simply too excited about it. It has got to be the the most amazing ridge line in the area..I always thought it was so obvious. With the Croft style traverses in style now. To absolutly stay on the " Ridge" would be a very hardcore way to do it. Unless time was spent drilling rehehsing etc. We tried to stay within a 20 degree circumfrence of the natural ridge feature. I havent got to into this " Travers vs. Enchainment "discussion . It is great how naturally the line leads you. On the unexplored parts it seemed like a classic line done hundreds of times before.
