I did the west ridge about 3 weeks ago. Be sure and bring water, I barely had enough. My route finding skills were tested (I passed) even with Beckey photocopies in hand. Lovely climb! If you don't mind exposure soloing is pretty doable. Someone mentioned 5.5 stuff, I think the final pitch was around a 5.6, but I don't think we did the official book version. Some pics of the climb can be seen here: http://www.ryansasser.org/photos/Stuart/ One thing about the decent. Cascadia is the way to go, but we had trouble getting onto it. We went too far down the rib (following cairns no less) immediately west of the coulior (between the right way and Ulrich's coulior). We had to climb back up a little ways, and luckily found a rap station that got us on route. [This message has been edited by Loki (edited 09-24-2001).]

...I hate to destroy a good fantasy, but the book shelf in question belongs to me, Holly's not-so-talented photographer. Glad to see it impresses, but so far the wrong sex has shown interest. I don't think Holly is dating me because of my book collection. So, unfortunately, Nietzsche still makes for lonely reading... "Hey baby, why don't we go back to my place and read some Zarathustra."
