I was expecting to solo it . David threw his harness and small rack+rope in. He and I were glad we had it on a couple of spots.No rock shoes make it interesting as well. Expect to get off route a little and get into 5.6R -loose.Good stuff to have a rope on. Give the thing a try!

How did you like that chimney?

Gonna load a couple of photos Dave? Please

How do you get to the place? It isnt in the BC select ,but is the area of Gimli in that book?

Great work Say! looking at the Homage rt?

gyms suck

So I have had Canadian vandalism too..Redoubt approach..sucks I guess I take my plates off of my car when I park!!

I totally agree with the route findin-in-whiteout position you stated , Especially on that mt. It is something you could get real hosed on quick.

Nice work guys! Do the Gendarme as well?

Ade you gonna be at pc tonight ,I can fill you in on Bear then. Also my strike is over and I gotta work but I still will go after that other thing with you on a long weekend,wayne

Alas,it was a good vacation, that ended with returning to the news the carpenters strike is over. I was supposed to be at work mon. , instead, David Parker and I enjoyed the West Ridge of Mt. Constance.. There is a very good reason Kearney selected this climb as one of his favorite classics in this blessed state. It may have its rock quality critics but it doesnt have to be supersolid to be a classic. Hell the Eiger is THE classic period. I felt like Hans and Franz on the Bielgtgenheimerstrussel Direct. We had a trip that easily measures up to most classics in the Cascades. The thing rocks and you deserve to have little beta for this one. It is something that should just unfold for you .You should however be very prepared for weather and descent knowledge, as the whole tour is vey complicated up on the mt. Route finding is a big issue. I took the easiest looking way and ended up in 5.6 r -Loose crap. It was a bit scary. Well its back to the grindstone till Europe in Sept. Have a fun summer ya'all! See you at the club

I was the skinny guy on the beach, you kicked sand in my face then stole my girl. Good job though.

I havent been in town for the werks in a long time, The Seattle ones were amazing. I cant believe how far pyrotechs have come.

Sorry Colin I misunderstood you, but I say it cant be done though. I wonder if the rock is that bad on it like it says. Fury is pretty bad up high. The Swiss peak is a cool looking peak, I wonder what the summit register says in it. How about a traverse of luna -fury-swiss-challenger-whatcom?

For freakin out loud , great job man! , I cant wait to try them myself. Any issues with the travel across the ridges?

I guess you did specify strapon. I over-looked it . Well glad it worked out and good luck Greg. Lets see some pics ,after

Colin says the n. face of Swiss peak cant be done in 24. It prolly hasnt even seen a repeat much less a quick appraoch to the area at all. I just love it in general when people say something cant be done.

I have been following this arguement of speed vs. enjoyment that has shown itself in this thread. I feel it suits a person to get what ever they can from this sport. I have gone slow and fast. I have almost always enjoyed my time in the hills. Speed is sometimes more important on some pursuits than others . On Logan, It started raining as I left. There is always a reason to hurry in the mts. Enjoy what moments you are in . There may be a day this will all seem quite silly. Here again is the perspective I have on the speed variation.. Chart It is a small little part of what ever you go after in this amazing sport. Everyone have a safe 4th!

Easy pass is the easiest way in there, so Chal 1st. Which leaves you with which rt on fury? ne butt? tough climb after any peak. If you could somehow get to the backside you could do the easy rt. The peaks are not conveniently connected unless your Croft

Cathedral ridge is a good late season do

wAY TO PUT THE SQUARES INSIDE EACH OTHER!

It is a hinged type, step in binding anyone want it/

Thanks, Anybody done all 3 -9,000ers beginning with Maude-to- Fernow ? In24? Thats my latest thought ,fwiw .Thanks for the thread you posted below Ursa. It doesnt seem like its been done then.!
