holy crap mark, you didn't wear the green shirt this time, finally dissolve on you? and are those 'blue jeans'?

yeah, well my four day trip to 'wet rocks' netted a total of 9-ish pitches of climbing and 2 days staring in disbelief at the same shit i coulda seen up here...but a good 2 days they were...beulahs book, olive oil, and some single pitch something to the left of solar slab

thanks for all the info folks. as i look outside my window to the 'ice' pelletts raining down, i could only hope the weather is better there than here.

Heading down there in a coupla weeks for about 4-ish days. Anyone have some 'must do's' in the multi-pitch moderate grade category? Gear, sport, don't matter. Thanks for yer input.

Nice pics, for a postage stamp...now let's see the real ones!

check pm's

hmmm...

ATT, and go w/ the GSM phones. Contrary to what others have said they do offer the same freq. as the aging TDMA networks (850 MHz) and also 1900 (not as robust and more prone to the natural interference we have up here) The GSM network has been built out significantly since the release up here, there are many more GSM sites than the TDMA's. The biggest benefit is in the possible Cingular buy-out. As a AT&t Wireless customer yoou can roam, for free on Cingulars network if there is know ATT coverage in the area. Make sure you get a dual frequency phone though, by far the best phone, as far as receptions concerned, is the Nokia 6200. I've tried them all.

...nor your appetite... tofu?? come on man, for god sakes, your in the woods! bring on the heart cloggers.

Nice Clint Eastwood look Mark, 'say, was that 5 hotdogs or six, I gots ta know!'

big thanks to the hanman too. wet night out for you folks?

that's it wallstein if memory serves me correctly, thanks. what up rbw?? yeah kyle (the atc dude) and i almost made the cabeza in the condoriri and later did the normal route huyana potosi. paul the brit and i went on to illamani afterward. pretty good trip all and all. take it you made the flight home?

Lent him a stove n stuff in Peru earlier this year and lost his email. He lives outside J-Tree and is part owner in a rock shoe re-sole business. Supposedly he gets around and climbs quite a bit so I thought I'd check and see if anyone has heard of him.

pay attention the your route finding on the lower access gulley (that gains the scree field) and once across the scree field, choose the correct chimney as there are several options here, some more difficult than the intended one.

thanks for pointing that one out. i saw it earlier but always try to avoid nude content on the internet and therefore skipped over it immediatley

Looking to get up there on Sun. for the W. Ridge, understand there's a maze of logging roads to navigate. Any recent info on access (if any) differnet than what's in the guide books appreciated. Thanks.

was on the e. ridge direct saturday, didn't see anyone on the n. ridge throughout our day but ran into a chick on the way out of boston basin w/ a pair of binoculars spying something up high on forbidden. asked her what she was looking for, said she heard someone was in trouble but didn't know who or where... if that's any info...

holy resurrection!!

planning for the e. ridge this weekend, seem to remember something about the road being out a couple of miles before the trailhead. is this still the case?? thx.

i'll be in lima on jun 3, la paz w/in a week from then. you still going and looking for a partner? one of mine just flaked, curious of yer plans. thanks.

stay at the turtle. if it's the extra time you need, stay there another day and as the others said skip the advance to camp hazard. the day (and night)i spent at the turtle all kinds of debris was coming down off the lower kautz and kautz ice cliff that would've made unwanted company had you been residing at hazard, one quite large block that even had us worried down low...

yeah, warm enough to necesitate a couple of naps, figured we'd already blown our 'safety time window'.

thanks for waiting around for us at the hut monday. we returned hours after you had left. yeah, guess our speed ascent didn't go as planned however we did make it and enjoyed thoroughly.

hey mattp, you gonna post other pics from the day elsewhere? ...and thanks for the help getting are rope/us out of a jam.
