serves us climbers right. now maybe all you wanks will realize climbing is a selfish waste of time. likewise realize that your actions good or bad, affect many many around you, all the time.... seriously sucks to lose a great area that includes perfect cracks...however, there are many perfect cracks all over the place.

no. unless you approach predawn or hike out before a bootpack.

Last time I talked to SD, he mentioned that he took up kayaking (superstyle, none-the-less). My buddy in portland, I think has his number. I will ask and send it on to you if he still has the digits. btw- careful about posting numbers and emails...this site can create a lot of spam for you.

Dragontail madness was climbed by a couple of lucky men who only made it to the top because the crazy polish leader kept going up. Continuous upward progress (according to FAs) was due to the leader's wool gloves sticking to the verglass atop the rotten gneiss. All (one piece) of the gear chipped into place fell out upon continuing higher. The line had seen a number of attempts but all parties gave up at the bivycave/chimney. In fact, one member of the FA team had been to that bivy before. This bivy point marks the begining of the psycho lead, apparently 3 overhangs all composed of unfriendly gneiss. After that the route is supposed be much easier. Go get it!
