What a pleasure It is to read this and relive some great memories. You two( three) are so devoted to the art of climbing and great at writing too! Thanks, really. I insist you guys send an edited version to a magazine pic. Your pictures are amazing as well. Did you take any video? we had our stuff taken from the bear box too, after the northern traverse. I hope they had a nasty hangover .

It says free, has anybody gone through the menu and signed up with the on X prompts? I’m just curious to see if it’s restrictive or invasive.

I think this route might have fallen apart?

Nice! Closing in on a dozen routes on the Spider! What a great venue you guys have in your area. We are gonna need a bigger guidebook!

Amazing adventure and astounding persistence! Glad the drytool crag could be of some assistance!!

Damn! Nice work I had my own go with that back in the 90s. What an epic wall, great job.

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.

Thanks Porter!

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?

The bar keeps getting raised! Nice to see a couple of “Worldly” people on the big local venues! now, when does that Rock-wall get bolted?

Great report! You should send this to gripped magazine, they would love it.

Not sure if I can make it now..

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

Remote! Nice job

Well done yet again with that adventure! I’m amazed you guys still have to drive for this sort of thing after all these years! I lost mine a long time ago. Good for you though!

Beautiful trip report! I take it you went solo?

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...

Great pictures, and what an adventure! Very very smart of you to have started on the right side of the mattress. Everybody including myself trade from the left side and got shut down pretty quick.

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!

Yes! Yet another great adventure wow. I’m almost completely out of ideas now! I am saving one idea though for myself and Mike Layton though. The “Golden Age of Cascades Climbing “ is still going on! Congratulations again you guys.

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.

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

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

Nice work! Love it
