Is yor ass still sore from your "visit" out west with Olyclimber?

I see your point, but.. The photos (excluding John Scurlock's) are shared property to us, not exclusive, and it is pretty obvious that mike didn't photo himself during one of the 5.9+ ( ) sections, so I guess it is assumed? BTW, he was glad he didn't know I took that picture...

Lion and tigers... where's the bear? Oh My!

The ascent was a major undertaking for both of us. The crediting does not at all minimalize either party's efforts. Ego plays no part in this type of commitment. I am stunned by the accolades, and humbled by the ascent of the 1958 party from Portland, and Fred's efforts in 1968.

So sez the flatlander. Fuckin' unbelievable

Moderator! GlassgowKiss NEEDS that one!!!

Thanks, CC! That's my new avatar gif!

It's back and it's fast!

Man, this site has been slooooooww for me the last couple of days. Anybody else? I have broadband, and all the other places I visit pop up fast, but every thread here takes about 30 seconds to load.

Rudy is the minuteman... C'mon, RuMR! The bait is just hangin' there, it's not going to bite itself!

What do you care Minuteman! You're a sport climber! The aliens still are hands down the best.

Yeah, Buddy! You too!

silver, of course.

No! Bring it! The vinyl hotel will provide laughs for all, as well as a good place for strip-poker. Lokks like we might be showng some stuff from Mox.

IPA I'm having some Boundary Bay variety, local good stuff!

Which way did they go? Looks tough:

I get all my news from spray, it is the Fox network of the online world: truthful, concise, nary a fluffball to be seen. I believe it all. Call me naive.

Mike is dictating by phone to respond: "1. Permit: Sorry, forgot. Realized at trailhead, too late. 2. Machete: Just brought for the photo, 4 devil's club branches were harmed. No bushes destroyed. 3. Flare: John was flying over anyways, the flare would have been useless, but we brought it anyways for psychological security. Erik would have had to been dead, hanging from a rope before it was used. We never asked Scurlock to fly for us. 4.Impact: Fires were small and only for hypothermia in the rain. I buried the fires after extinguishing. 5. Sometimes creative writing does not accurately display the true nature of the adventure. 6. CC.com is not neccesarily the best place to get straight facts. 7. Kids, don't try this at home.

Thanks for your post! We were aware that we were going into a special place. Will, the boat-driver, even told us that native artifacts have been found in the area we were going. Our intent was as little impact as possible. I would like to take this opportunity to clarify a few things, impact-wise. 1. We used the machete exactly twice: once to battle through devils club on a steep slope to escape an impassable part of the Perry Creek drainage, and second, a single branch to the fire to honor our route name. 2. The two fires we made were right on the creek, and will disappear at next snowmelt. That goes for our 2nd day camp as well. Our basecamp was on a flat rock in the talus field, requiring minimal clearing of stones. 3. We took all of our garbage out with us, except (as pointed out) the webbing and gear required to get us off the mountain. We also "cleaned" a carabiner from the 1958 party's ascent. We used no flagging on the approach or descent. I feel certain negative assumptions have been made. I hope this clarifies them somewhat. Sorry about dropping the permit ball. Erik Wolfe

Bring lobster!

The subtle joys of administration.

"Thas Right!" Wlcome back, Dru!

Man, I hope the Abbey Ale is in time. I'd shave my crown and wear a rough peasant's robe....
