I believe the massive earthquake of 1872 (7.3 r.s.) caused "The Fracture " Just south of Fury, And caused a huge chunk of Challenger summit to calve. I

Nice work all of you!> Jonah is a bud of mine, glad to hear he could help. Thanks for posting it. What a sick area!

Learn to place screws quickly. Learn to climb quickly. Dont match placements , always advance your swing. Take advantage of rests, and learn to stem. Dont overgrip. Get a high screw in and race up the steep sections to a rest. I like a leash on my left for a bone hang while placing a screw. Also, forget 5 go straight to 6

Damn, That was funny. A little to close to home for me though? The guys name was Blake!??

Does anyone know when it is expected out? I am looking forward to the Latok article, among others.

Wow, gripping My friend, you have a talent for writing. Left to say though, hopefully not only while pressed for survival. Gripping tale, and thanks for your climbing and writing initiative. Tough to do either. As for the difficulty issue... there may be technically more difficult routes, but done under safer circumstances. The pucker factor cannot be denied and you captured it well. My direct comparisons suffer due to the fact that we skipped the first gendarme, and I caught the route in great ice conditions, We were placing screws and good pickets the whole way. Great work and welcome to the arena, Wayne

Jeeps, that does look "fun"

Wow, sounds like a great adventure.

Now, Only 6 of the possible 12 routes have been done on the Spider. I hope my project on the N side stays secret until the new guide "outs" it.

Just saw this thread.. The bolted routes at the base of Wind mt- south end are an upper road cut, They were interesting trad when I climbed there in the 90s. They are good climbs and interestingly enough , they are granite in nature! The upper wind mt clibs are looser basalt. There is an obvious dihedral that I was gunning for when the huge death whipper took place. Thanks again Tim. Steve Elder the Kiwi hardman, later went back and did the route solo!

Heck yeah, thanks for that Bill.

Beware of short headings on emails from friends with Hotmail addresses! Is this happening to anybody else. I have recently received 2 spams from friends whose hotmail got hacked. Should I delete my hmail acct? Should I get more pharmaceuticals?
