The Sphinx went free and so did Geike...

Those who know, do not say. Those who say, do not know.

Bouldering - dyno in Hope, something like 70 tries over 3 years. Getting closer (touching but not holding sloper you dyno to) but no success yet. Alpine - 3? For big alpine routes you don't really want to be failing multiple times. It gets too expensive.

Whatever, they put those webcams in front of the snow makers.

So what if it's followed by a hard freeze there is nothing on the ground up there to freeze, it all got washed away the last week or so

I was kinda hoping it would run across from Savage Love

Here we go... http://www.alpinist.com/doc/ALP09/climbing-note-jourdan It's worth noting that he doesn't actually solo these routes all free, Dane. He goes ropeless but brings a small rack and pulls on gear if necessary in some sections.

Already done by Wilford Frank came back to Canada a couple years ago and soloed the second ascent of the Cheesemond-Dick on east face of Assiniboine. He's also done some stuff in the Wadd Range if I recall correctly.

1) park on Mt Baker Highway 2) hike north

deep hot biosphere, man!

Supporting sweatshop labour with Nike kicks.... etc.

Maybe it's Rhenium!

True dat

If you consider bailing from, not even the summit, but not even the top of the ridge to be "poaching"? FA to the summit & therefore first successful ascent was Bibler/Klewin no?

I had that pegged for random text generator from the second sentence Those things are so 2005.

They bombed that side of Quartz to set off an avalanche in "K2 the Movie" IIRC.

The 2004 accident was a pretty bad one. Basically the climb is way thinner than in Dane's photo, rarely "in", but these guys charged up on it because it was a "classic route" and pretty much marched smiling to their deaths. Maybe less hyping of these 70s routes is warranted due to climate change.
