HOLY SHIT DAVID. What a bag. Is that the same guy you did lost arrow spire with.
BTW, my brother got in some good climbing in Rio, especially for a non climber. Thanks for the tips
is that psychic wound your talking about. I was looking at that second pitch dihedral. it looks pretty intense for the first 15 or 20 ft off the belay, like small beaks or rurps
As far as El Cap goes, you could probably talk me into doing any route. I would probably chicken out of leading A4 pitches. How about a one day on Zodiac, if its fixed up that is. How about South Seas. I have always wanted to do Tangerine Trip too.
Hey Tradclimbguy, have you done the steck salathe. how bout some beta an the approach, wideness, and descent. The climb seems to be getting done alot more than it was ten years ago.
Whats up Kev. When are we taking the kids to Smith.
why did this guy corey get a ticket. was it for driving on 84 while closed or was it for climbing. i was bouldering in the oneonta parking lot a few summers back and a park person told me climbing is illegal in the gorge.
did anyone climb in the gorge this last freeze. i drove through sunday. it looked too thin for me.
BillA, thanks for the report and the photo. I think that is called black diamond in the pdx book. It looks so sick. Has it seen an ascent. Looked scary on sunday. Too wet. probably easiest to come in from the right on frozen moss.
I have talked to several parties who have done the nose in a day. it seems to be much more doable than most people realize. i've bivied on it before and would love to skip the camping part and get right to the climbing part. leading in blocks with some short-fixing. the second jumars.
