Drew: Where was your first picture taken? It looks like a road or tracks down near the shoreline... Follow Up Question: In your experience, how much of the recent increase (seemingly) in mass wasting do you feel can be directly attributed to climate change?

Dodged a bullet on that one...on a geologic time scale. We would have been obliterated.

ZOIKS!!!!

Also East Face Couloir of White Chuck. That was a fun one!

Looks like he packed on some pounds since his Alpinist Cover. Sick FA, Bra!!

I read that they left their rappel devices at the Bone Cairn.

Parbat, not parpat.

I remember a similar thing a bunch of years ago, on Nanga Parpat’s Rupal Face. I watched this one play out for the last week or so, on mountain.ru. I also figured he was a goner, bur still held out hope, until late last night. I got chills down my spine when they posted: “Saved!” Russian climbers are hard dudes, though, so I am not too surprised. They almost summited, again, this was their second attempt. His partner fell with most of their gear. F#ck that!

Anyone else been following this? Holy shit!! https://www.planetmountain.com/en/news/alpinism/alexander-gukov-rescued-on-latok-1.html

But enough about Wayne... What do you think of Wayne?
