first ascent [TR] North Hozomeen Mtn - Zorro Face, IV 5.9 8/31/2013
olyclimber replied to lunger's topic in North Cascades
Of course there has to be some unexplored stuff out there, even if it isn't a summit. Maybe a Snow Creek Wall, buried behind a 2 day approach. -
in that vein....

first ascent [TR] North Hozomeen Mtn - Zorro Face, IV 5.9 8/31/2013
olyclimber replied to lunger's topic in North Cascades
Eric and Rat are our reigning choss emperors. Felt like to me this was the crown climb for this site for some reason. There are some great TRs, many perhaps more technically difficult, but this was one...for those that value virgin exploration in desolate and beautiful places, that felt different. Imagine what Kerouac would have thought if he had read this TR. Have we seen anything close to it since? Will we again? For this community as it is or was, which has faded in number and gotten older, perhaps not. Will someone prove me wrong? Kerouac’s Void has been climbed, and I’m glad it was Eric and Rat that did it, because that meant we got Eric’s words here, with his literary gifts, encrusted with understated sandbaggery. I would not blame them at all if they both just chose Squamish henceforth. And yes there is still more that can be done I suppose in the world of choss grovelry, and plenty of things that have been done that deserve many repeats and the story of those repeats can hopefully be told, whether it is here or where ever stories are getting shared these days. But the days of exploring virgin territory like this...what of any significance is left? Can you share a picture of it? and thanks @lunger and @rat you crazy fuckers, hope you are well. -
But again...this *is* a confessional, so we don't judge. We forgive.

I guess all the songs are about men who love goats. And not in a congenial way either!

just kidding, that guy was crazy. You couldn’t make that shit up. Functionally similar though. Dumb people don't understand, and therefore attempt jokes, but lack this ability.

[TR] Mount Curtis Gilbert - West Route 07/11/2020
olyclimber replied to JasonG's topic in Southern WA Cascades
I busted a filter on a $2000 lens before. due to the amount of glass there, that looks like a $$$ lens. When you first see it, you crap your pants, and then remember oh yes...there is a filter. thank you Jason. maybe i'll go climb Little Si i'm so inspired. but seriously inspiring to see people getting out when i've been huddled in my cave for too long. i'm gonna start moving again. i know this is from last year, but i'm finally getting to it, and so its new to me. -

I've seen stuff I couldn't explain, so I guess that makes it unidentified. for instance, once saw a cupcake in the sky. it looked so delicious. i was so hungry. but it was too far away.
