Yo Ivanhoe, I once heard tale of a project on, of all places, Bat Wall. Heard of it? "Die in the Gym", or something like that. Has that seen a 2nd ascent to your knowledge?

Another sweet report. Nice season you are having!

Hey Shaun, thanks for the scoop on the route.

We saw that, only 5.10? thats great

Nice one! or 3.

Trip: Supercave, Ellen Pea rt. - Date: 6/7/2015 Trip Report: What a climb! its already being called the best climb in the state. Thanks to whomever replaced the approach ropes and added a second one. Looks like you have some fun projects going on up there! 1st attempt was last year with Paul. after mistakenly going way past the start of the route up the approach gully, we bailed disgusted with how involved and somewhat dangerous the approach appeared. 2nd attempt was done early in the snow year to try to avoid the bad slabs by walking atop the snowpack instead. The only problem with that notion was that Jon and I found the upper part of the route to be very wet- april 19th , lesson learned. Attempt# 3 just happened June 7 of 2015, and it was just dry enough to climb More beta/ photos on my online journal Admins, photo loader is being weird.

Talent meets conditions! love it, thanks for sharing.

I posted a tr long ago that warned of a particularly dangerous flake at the first belay opportunity after the Pressure Chamber pitch. It was used many times by unsuspecting climbers/belayers for decades. If it is that one , I am glad it went off without injuries or worse.

Miss you big D.

Nice one. Rumor has it that this route may make it into a new "select" guide.

Amazing work, musta been fun.

I feel your pain, try Mt. Project too.

Rumor has it that there is a wi5 line that forms on the Mowich. Heard 2nd hand so...

Looks good, keep it up!

The weather looks like most of my trips there! Sweet report.

Trip: Utah desert - 5 crazy towers + Indian Creek Date: 3/16/2015 Trip Report: Just finished a great trip to the desert of Utah, Had a fantastic time doing Fine Jade, the Priest, Standing Rock and more. Did a photo and write up on my personal Journal : here . Thanks for reading Sorry, couldn't get the photo uploader to work on this site..

Great to see this! Keep the stoke alive guys.

Updated report from another trip up there

Yep, Hard to get something by Lowell.

Nw ridge of Logan?

I am flexible on the dates and projects. My ideal departure is late Feb. I need to be back in mid March. I do have a couple of towers in mind. 5.10-.11 please.

Bob, did you hear about this? Second Ascent added 2 new photos — with Will Hinckley and Braden Downey. January 17 at 1:04pm · Edited · From the guys that brought you "Fast & Light in the Alaska Range" did it again on one of Washington's formidable beasts. Last week Will Hinckley & Braden Downey climbed what is known to be the ‪#‎secondascent‬ of the Polish Route on Colfax Peak with difficulties of run-out sections up to WI6. Will states, "It's by far the best ice line I've been on in Washington and it's definitely deserving of more traffic."

This thread inspired me to revamp an old profile on my website, thanks! 1) Have climbed. Zodiac Temple S.Pickets traverse Mongo Springbok 2) Capable of but have not climbed. Real Big Drip Cryophobia Rocketman Stanley Headwall big Patagonia tower 3) Admire but will never climb. Himalaya giant Ogre, Nanga, etc Helmekin Infinite Bliss

Sounds like a case of Curmudgeonitis, I feel the lure as a older climber, there is getting to be sooo many new people in the sport to add to the aggravation, but I have nothing but love for the new generation, and good things will come out of it. They seem to want to grow and do the right thing. I am seeing a lot of wierd rope work and such though. They need good examples from our generation. Hang in there.
