bump Good luck... I got my brand new Lumix back last summer when I left it on the hood of my car after coming off of Prusik. The guy that found it said the pics were so good, he could zoom in on my backcountry permit and read it. Hoping the same for you...

By "Wickersham Wall" do you mean the Wickersham Face - the N face of Denali? If so that would hardly qualify as a wall... it's even been skied. But, if all the snow melted, it could well be the biggest face on earth.

BOW DOWN :: :: Or... at least for the first 10 seconds of the video or so... For perspective if you put half dome on top of el cap (yes the one pink climbed) and then sprayed ice on the side that is what you are looking at. what's the name of that formation? it's 1500 meters? MMMM MMOUNT DDDDD DICKEY!

Prusik Peak W ridge is an easy alpine route, yet very beautiful. I think the crux goes 5.7, but only for a move or two.

The good weather seems to be following me for some reason.

Bunch of other crap too...

Oh yeah, I almost forgot about these... [video:youtube] [video:youtube] [video:youtube] [video:youtube] [video:youtube]

Trip: Various Alaska 2010 - Date: 7/5/2010 Trip Report: Ok, here is a snapshot of my weekend adventures for the first half of my summer. Not any "real climbing", but I did bag a few nice peaks and did some super cool shizzizl. There is much to sift through, but I feel there are a few jems that make it worth the digging... You tell me? So check it, yo. Let's start out with a lil mt porn in the Alaska Range, tourist style... [video:youtube] [video:youtube] [video:youtube] [video:youtube] When the pilot picked me up the next day, it was just me on the flight out. He said something about a "touch and go over the next ridge". I thought he was referring to some turbulence. No, he was carving a runway for later that day. As soon as we started to dive down the steep face, he said, "I'm gonna come back and ski that later today". Sure wish I had an extra few hundred bucks and 4 more hours... [video:youtube] My favorite still from that trip... OK, nuf of the range. But if you want the long version still pics, go here... Alaska Range Overnighter Tourist Style April 2010 This is a nice hike up Mt Cecil, on the Kenai River. Fun ski, but the late season post-holing sucked... [video:youtube] This is an overnight trip I did in the Chugach... Bagged a small peak but may have had the name wrong in the video. Hmmm, those must not have uploaded??? Oh yeah, I flew home to see Tom Petty at the Gorge. 5th row Beeoshh! What a show!!! Joe Cocker rocked the house too. The new album MOJO, rocks! HERE - Tom Petty at the Gorge 2010 [video:youtube] Next up, (Sorry, I tried to load the best pano shots but kept getting snaffled, even though I size em down.) Ummm, well? It's late. I'm tired. And, got like, all this crap to do... So, I think that is all I can post for now. Bummer, as I barely scratched the surface. Oh well, I know I WAS THERE!!!

Second that... More Pics Here

Well said Off. Thanks!

I heard Pink climbed ElCap...

I think he meant Dave Anderson? But I'll take yer free beer...

Wow!

if one's beer is gettin warm in one's pack when one is climbing then perhaps one is not climbing fast enough... still, warm rainier beer after a long day is quite satisfying if you have nothing else. "I think my back feels a bit wet, no, it's really wet"... Be careful when carrying 24 oz cans of beer on route, lest you end up really wet and still thirsty!

Chances are good a backcountry ranger will check for your permit.

I thought they had patchouli oil fer blood? Which is even worse than sangria (IMO).

But what about all those poor police & prison workers with nothing to do now? How can their economy possibly survive without the war on drugs?

The one that catches me on a huge whipper!

that guy kyle looks like a real dry tool. That Larry guy looks like an OLD tool.

Fixed it fer ya...

Nice find STT, I wonder if he delivers to Alaska? God speed Adam.

Wow, nice job/great pics!

Judging by this comment, I think you must have found the beer and drank all of it?
