The ultimate everything is a fun line up the chief. never super hard, never exposed... just a fun line. Good training for long routes in Yosemite... reminds me a little of the royal arches.
Check out seal cove too, some cool shit. a fun traverse for sure.
It would be an epic marathon... Don't forget to go swimming in the lake at the beginning of the uphill before glacier meadows. You would really be missing out on something refreshing.
I soloed the sulphide on Monday with perfect conditions! I got to the summit pyramid right as the sun was hitting it, but the central gulley was still frozen solid. FUN 180' of 5th class ice to the top. Rapped off the pyramid to the slushy east. Then I rode my splitboard down for a kick ass day. 11 hours car to car at a moderate pace. Hardly a soul in sight... just me and the ravens
Yup! Hot on the Kone on Wed.
Juan was that you who left the blue metolius cam? Got it out for you... hope you found it. I tore out old rap slings... and added new... took out lots of garbage slings. The Kone kicks ass.
I'd like to snowboard down the Sulphide... I plan on going solo, but a fast partner would be great! I'll be skinning up on my split board, so you should be on skis
Coley...You can climb it with 3 pitons... and no rope. You'll need 4oz. of water and 17 goo packets. you can also duct tape your crampons to your 5.tennies like Renando the amazing.
It's a great piece for simul-climbing also. Just place after the crux (not lengthened on a sling) to protect the follower. Viola... if they fall they don't pull your ass down too.
Cracks will be climbed in early October. I Will haul your shit up that big El Cap stone... just need a mentor. More ridge routes in Tuolumne to fall. You say Horsecock? I say Cockscomb.
