It's the seams and joints I don't trust. Looks like it could burst on impact.

Prolly not.

The rap anchors are right off the top of the South Ridge. The SW Face is supposedly a class 4 scramble (though I've never been on it myself), there are no rap chains I know of there, and I hear it is covered with loose rock. It also looks like it takes you almost completly to the opposite side of the peak from Ingalls Lake, the approach that most people use. South Ridge takes you right to the top of the gully to the lake. From summitpost.org: "Southwest Face Grade I Class 4. This is the easiest route on the peak and has several variations. There is much loose rock."

Send him climbing up the route, while NOLS members pitch rocks off the summit.

HAWT!!!

You say that like I've been climbing more than once!

How about a pathetic thread...? I'll post a picture of myself climbing...

How pathetic can it be when you are bored with the bored thread?

Very creative! :brew: What can I say - I'm bored.

That's hilarious! (-Is it just me, or are all of them fat?)

Being a member of the right species helps.

The secret to living a long life is not living a short life.

You all go to hell, I'm going climbing.

The secret to living a long life is not dying.

Here, here. ...That should be "I am 43, AND a strong climber!"

True. I was there 2 weeks before to climb Stuart, and we saw 2 goats, a nanny and a kid, and that was it. 2 weeks later were there to climb Ingalls, and we were surrounded by them. I think those posers just saw my camera and had to cheeze it up.

I'll second that Ingalls Pass statement. I was up there last weekend, and I took these at Ingalls Basin on the way out of there on Sunday... Most goats I've ever seen close up in one place. But like he said, not the closest drive to where you are...

I agree. I was there Saturday after doing the East Ridge, and we walked to the rap station from the summit. Note the climber in front. His main concern is not dropping his sammich. With two 60m ropes, you rap right to the next rap station at the bottom of the 5.4 slabs. From there you rap to just short of the very bottom of the climb, maybe 6 feet of class 4 (if that) from the bottom. The guy in the picture finished his sammich during the first rappel, and is about to finish the second part of the second rap down to the base of the hounds tooths.

Two.

She looks to me like a single shot would have been approprate. TO THE HEAD!!!

Last summer I was scrambling with some Canadians, and they said "Every time we go out with Americans, the topic always eventually gets around to bestiality."

Maybe rig up something with slings, like the seatbelt extenders they use on airplanes...
