Don't confuse the Nisqually Ice Cliff route for Nisqually Ice Fall. These are very different. There is much less risk of crevasse fall on the Ice Cliff route because much of it is not on glacier.
Many times I've looked up at that awesome wall and wondered whether anyone has done anything on it. No one has been able to tell me a thing. No more wondering.
Nice job guys.
Sure, but i doubt it would be followed by 3 pages of ass kissing from a bunch of dirty old men if it wasn't some young climber chic. I doubt it would even get mentioned here.

I don't know of anyone doing that route solo before in winter male or female. And I don't think I was trying to manufacture drama, just giving a simple thumbs up to a really nice young person, who if you ever met her you'd agree.
