does this show the line? (left skyline by the embarrassing finger?)

you guys are lame. it wasn't bail anchors because it was clipped into a tw bolt + chains anchor. It looked brand-new, asaide from a fresh dusting of chalk.

which approach gully?

Are you comfortable scrambling/simuling 3rd-class to low-5th? If that portion of the buttress (most of it) had to be pitched out, it would make for a pretty miserable experience.

I haven't done TRL but I've done LC and Barberpole, so I feel qualified in saying how long Barberpole should take and how "easy" the aid on LC is comparatively. I can't remember exactly how long it took us to climb Barberpole several years ago, but I have in my notes that we summited before 11 AM. Probably started at 6:30 AM, hour and a half to approach, scramble The Bong, and rack up. Started climbing at 8 AM. Three hours. Granted it would be faster to just climb from M&M Ledge rather than the approach ramp of Barberpole too, but you'll be carrying more stuff and will have already been moving for a while.

Whitechuck is still closed. The easiest way to do Glacier Peak now is the Disappoint Peak Cleaver route via NF Sauk TH.

does that get your ropes all twisty?

More caution (I've rapped on two strands of 6mm before with an ATC too, which I would not advise for a newbie). AND WEAR YOUR BELAY GLOVES! There's also a bunch of extra friction tricks you could do such as a redirect or an extra biner.

Was the keg high-gravity?

anything strange or charming? ?

Did you find a neutrino?

Climb: somewhere-some route Date of Climb: 8/7/2006 Trip Report: i went somewhere with someone for some time and saw some things. Climbed some of this and some of that. Gear Notes: forgot my pants at home. had to hide my legs in my pack to keep the hordes of females away Approach Notes: tastefully placed cairns

All depends on how fast you can do the aid, which is harder than the aid on Liberty Crack. The upper free pitches (basically the Barberpole Route) should take about 3 hours.

Yeah, 75% quality looks good enough and shrunk my filesizes by about half. Also stripped another 10-15k per image by removing the EXIF data, which included thumbnails.

DH, will do. to lighten myself as much as possible to give me the greatest chance of succeeding, it will be a nude ascent.

i think i saw that undercling to the left, but it seemed way too far to the left. maybe i just need to see someone do it. or not have a bunch of shit on the back of my harness. or stfu and get stronger.

You should go do Challenger in a day and Maude+SFJ+Fernow in a day.

Cool, those are the things I suck at. (You don't find that climbing at the gym or at X32/38.)

I tried to do this thing on TR, and I couldn't figure out where to go. After exerting a 5.11- effort, I got about 3-4 feet off the ground onto some thin edges but the face was blank above. There was another edge about a foot higher, though thinner than what I had been on. The next mediocre handhold seemed about 3 feet above what I could reach, and the next good handhold a foot higher. Anyone have any beta? We also cut some old slings about 20 ft to the left halfway up G-M p3. They were girdling a tree to the point that they were under tension by the tree.

doh, they're not as good as they were last year

identify color/maker and if it's not too much of a PITA, i'll get it back to you

Newsflash: Terrorist plot foiled. Suspects planned to stuff explosives up their asses. All people boarding aircraft in the next week must endure anal probe. Show up four hours early for flight. You may save time if you are prelubed.

Thanks. I was thinking about the ones around The Country.
