I am looking for a new 'project' climb. So I was wondering what other climbs I have to check off before I can call myself a true NW Hardman. So if you had to name one route, be it alpine sufferfests, big mountain slogs, or a roadside crag pitch, what ONE climb would you say is quintessentially a route that only the hardest of the hard would or could do.
The conclusion of my exaustive research on this matter is:
Winter ascent of Mt. Index (solo) via the N. Norwegian Buttress followed by a ski descent of the route, solo.
If your schpincter ever functions normally again, you would certainly have "hardman" status.
