chossinator

Since the thread on climber of the year, I thought why not a cc.com acknowledgement of Gaper of the year. I had a spilt decision vote between DFA and Sexual Chocolate. Here they are in action. Lets hear your nominations.

Great idea

Would like to climb at Index on wednesday, but need a partner. If interested send a pm.

Anybody have any recent beta in the condition of the Pocket Glacier or advise on gaining access to the butress. Any info in the decent would also be appreciated (will one 60m be adequate). Thanks for any help

The route was exactly as I expected it would be and we had good beta and studied the route. Little things added up and it took a little longer than expected. The route had lots of running water on some of the lower pitches that we planned on soloing but belayed instead. Snow was also on parts of the route, which we had to bypass. Fist time climbing a long alpine route with this partner, took a while to get in a grove. Some minor route finding difficulties with the last portion in the dark. Decending in the dark also added to the time also, it probably took twice a long as it would have had it been light. It was a fun climb, and enjoyable, except for the hike out.

Index is hour east of Seattle on HWY 2. Some of the best granite in the Northwest.

I will be at Index SAT, and the stuart range sun and monday. come on up the more the merrier.

SK, thats not what Fred B told me and he is an expert.

I am a "hands on" kind of guy. I may grab your ass but other than that I am harmless.
