Torre Norte Video on Vimeo I am a noob when it comes to computers, so this was a big project for me. Still didn't come out as clean as I hoped, but that's just more incentive to go climb something else and try to make it look cool on video! Enjoy.

I am looking for a pair of used tools (nothing too fancy), and an assortment of screws in decent shape. Preferably tools that you can find replacement picks for still... thanks, ryan dot huetter at hotmail dot com

Trip: Torres del Paine, Chilean Patagonia - Monzino Route Date: 12/4/2009 Trip Report: Here is a link to a TR from a recent ascent of the Monzino Route (V 5.10) on the North Tower of Paine. Enjoy. North Tower Trip Report [img:center]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W0DJiegf0tQ/Sx5zsyy2iYI/AAAAAAAAAik/bCDVOpKkFcI/s1600-h/IMG_0276.JPG[/img] Gear Notes: Lots of bail cord. Approach Notes: Long slog. Bring buffed calves.

We did it in one and a half days. I would wholeheartedly recommend not hauling on this route. Many belays SUCK to haul from and end up with a stuck bag. Would be completely feasible to do this in a push. Andy wasn't up to it though, so took our time. The Dante's thing is a bit exaggerated- I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars. Location is everything though.

What route? Normal East Face 3rd class route? I would expect a lot of snow going from Brainerd/Finger Lakes up to the glacier.

Trip: Yosemite - SW Face Liberty Cap Date: 9/26/2009 Trip Report: Southwest Face of Liberty Cap NOTE: All pictures are available at www.RyanHuetter.blogspot.com But here is the text anyway. With 10 days off in between a couple courses I was working for Outward Bound in the Sierra, I headed into the Park to play on some [little] big walls. My initial plan was to solo Ten Days After on Washington Column, but some major stuck rope issues (scary!) forced me down after my second day on the wall. After a couple days of getting my stuff down and decompressing at the El Cap Bridge with cold Cobras courtesy Ottowa Doug, I teamed up with my buddy from El Portal, Andy Esparza, to go climb a route on Liberty Cap that had always captured my interest. We racked up and hiked up the John Muir Trail, serving as amusement to the parched and dusty tourists who were amazed at the size of our packs (and that they weren't full of beer.) The best part though, was stopping for water along the trail, and several different people, thinking my open haulbag was a garbage can, threw their trash in it! We made it up to the base, fixed a pitch, and went to hang out at a pool below Nevada Falls to relax and fill up our water bottles. The next day came quick, and we started taking care of business pretty early. The second pitch featured a bitchin' 5.9 handcrack, and I got to lead the best pitch of the route, a super steep hook and rivet ladder out a steep corner. The climbing overall was OK- a combination of decent climbing accompanied by some really low quality bush-grovelling. I likened it to Dante's Nine Circles of Hell, as experienced through shrubbery. The mini-epics were plentiful, including me leading a 5.6 chimney/c3 crack when my headlamp suddenly died, and one of Andy's approach shoes taking the plunge off the last pitch, leaving him to hike barefoot back down the trail, but the location was unbeatable. Getting to look over at Nevada Falls all day long, looking at the tourists getting way to close to the edge and screaming, "YER GONNA DIE!!!" was priceless, and topping out and getting to look up into the Little Yosemite Valley was well worth our arboreal labors.

Great shots. Beautiful area huh? Amazed to see so many pics taken on such a fast run.

Great picture from Crest Jewel of the Ahwiyah point rockfall. Also props on leading of Copper Penny. That doesn't get done too much. My first trip to the valley several years ago I walked up to it to lead it, with a single 4" Camalot as my big piece. That was a lesson in humility!

No, the hoard had just fixed Texas and Boot Flakes. There was a fix-a-thon going on below the stovelegs though, with lines strung all the way to the ground below the bottom Stoveleg pitch. Madness!!!

Here is a link to a recent trip up the steepness located in between the Nose and the Reticent/Dawn Wall. Enjoy! TRIBAL RITE PHOTO TR

I am leaving Seattle tomorrow morning, fairly early, driving a friend to San Jose (place to stay) and then heading to the Valley on Friday morning, getting in by 12-1pm. Can drop you off anywhere in the Park, I'll be staying in El Portal. Call Ryan at Three-Six-OH, 981-1408

There will most likely be dry exposed ground. Ediza is in the low 9000s if I remember correctly. I was on the West side of Banner/Ritter in late June of last year, and it was a moderate snow year and there was zero problems camping up to 9,500.

I have no problem stopping by Vegas when I go from Moab west towards Yosemite.

I am heading from Seattle down to Zion/Moab the week of April the 4th. If you want a ride, I can fit you and your gear (up to 2 people). I am not bound by a schedule, so if you need to leave a few days later, no prob. No need for partners (if you are stuck partnerless we can work something out though... Have solo plans in Zion and friends meeting in Moab...) Also will be open to giving rides from Moab to Yosemite on April 23rd. Call Ryan @ 360-981-1408 for more info, or email here.
