Ive climbed it twice, and one time there were five people who climbed it that day, so thats seven last year plus your three makes 10. Now can we chop the bolts on the crack????
The other bolts up higher arent essential but that would be a pretty bold lead. Blind gear placements with super pump and a wee bit of exposure at the top.
I definitely agree with the fact that it is a final resting place for 62 souls. I spent the night up there and was overwhelmed with a very peaceful and auspicious feeling. I had lucid dreams af these little lights floating all around me, like being in the middle of some Hubble telescope photo.
There are places in the world that possess a unique personality all to themselves, then there are some that possess a strong energy, something that stays with you. Slesse has left its mark on me.
Damn! Between A-boy and Frosty I got no good jems of my own. Bastards- hoggin up all the good climbs!!
Bunch of sick days in Index for sure
Epic time on the Salathe
Squamish was good

THUMP THUMP CHUMPS!
What about psycopath to hyperspace? Not cool enough for your list Frosty? Name Dropper. Just kidding, mabye I will get to my list after I quit studying for this test if I can remember any of the shit I climbed this year.
There was definatly two or three seperate bursts of lightning on Saturdy night here in Bellingham. I saw the flashes but did not hear the thunder b/c it was raining so hard. My living room was illuminted with the unmistakable burst of blue light two or three times while we were watching Serpico. NO SNOW
Yeah i dont set mine above 9 either since they tore my meniscus 3 years ago when they didnt release laterally. Early season a buried root or tree snagged my downhill ski at the bottom of a turn.
I think that they need to come up with an industry standard to test those things like they test alpine bindings for proper release at the ski shop when you get new bindings mounted.
But for committing lines its nice to crank em down all the way. IMHO FWIW
Mowich Face
DH I wouldnt worry too much about the HS pitch. It isnt that bad really, its pretty fun, good gear, heart pounding exposure, fun moves, all there. Go get some!!
