Maybe you need to drill an Abalakov-style hole for the wire to come out of. I mean if the wire runs up then it's just going to pull the Picket up out of the hole isn't it? Ultimately the best snow pro is soloing with two long-shafted ice axes planted to the hilt.

Shouldn't this be in the Giant Housecats thread

Better have a safety meeting right now.

I'm all for women getting stoned, if the men can have some too

I dunno about WA but I bought one in a "rehab shop" a block from the hospital up here and it cost 6 bucks. Then when i broke it they gave me a stronger one for free

You might have a delightful career ahead of you climbing septic tank overflow, boiler flush, post-nasal drip and other frozen fluids.

You think it's just the FBI? Check this out:

Cause you know when Yuji Hirayama onsighted Sphinx Crack he climbed the 5.11 part for a warmup, downclimbed to the ground, then climbed back up and onsighted the 5.13 part...

Although, it sounds like they went straight up the creek gully to get to the Angel whereas Fred and I were in forest on the left.

OK, here we go Original photo from Flickr by rog45, see here Now in my topo, red = Kay/Zozikyan West Face green = shared approach to the Angel, which is where the lines split Yellow = new summer line NW Face to N ridge Purple = winter NW face

Hey Don, the Angel is the local name for the snowpatch that hangs around into late summer in the bottom of the NW bowl. They climbed east out of that to gain the North or NW ridge (not the west ridge) up a couloir that is hidden from most places but very obvious when you are in the NW bowl, then up the crest of the N ridge to, it sounds like join your 1976 route. Sounds like they took almost exactly the same approach as Fred and I to the bowl, at least, it makes sense to me. I'll make a little photo topo... hang on
