terrible news,not trying to take away from the tragedy but its another accident with being roped with no anchors in. just lucky more were not killed. ive done it many times but say i shouldnt.sorry to the family members

in 93 did the 1963 ne rib. the climbing had a few "just ok"" spots but the upper pitches were great. worth doing. and you dont have to fight any brush

good job

not climbing news but a women died near barclay lake today base jumping.[ch.7] i assume she was on dolmonite tower or baring. condolences to family if true

nice photos

keep it clean so you don't pin scar the cracks too much for us free climbers careful those big walls wouldnt be free climbed without pin scars

Thats one big piece of rock, good job

sweet!

smart also but soloing has that alure

smart

looks fun, put it on the list

looks great, alot of people get discouraged to get out because of the weather forcast but sometimes you can still get some things done and get a work out

I didnt mean to start a whole other TR i was just commenting on summit chasers TR. dont know how it happened? but feel free to delete or ignore. but while im here, ya, fixed the spelling, thanks for pointing that out fenderfourin. in "the old days" their were only a couple climbers writing guidebooks for index [still is]if you choose not to say anything about a first ascent thats cool but unless youve left some evidence[pin/runner] dont get pissed when someone claims it as a first ascent.that little index thing looked like crap anyways

then it never happened

sounds familiar

hey side note, read crossing zion by keith mark johnson [2002?] hillarious and depressing at the same time. but sheds some light on the noble profession of mt guide. sorry to the freinds family of the climber

true enough but its a big hike, by the way are you from the 70s

Hell ya!

your right on selkirk

diddo here

i would probibly take one per person, you might need one?

depends how fit and aclimitized you are but if your flatlander like me you better take 2 or 3 days. go lite on the comfort stuff but dont skimp on storm esentials fuel,gps,wind protection,goggles, ect.. may-june can get some wicked storms up above 10k. but if your fit and the forecast is good go for it

ya they make some great 1+ lb bags that are really warm, their definitly pricey, its not like 95% of us get free gear

wouldnt think you would need much technical gear in early season besides the rope two tools and maybe a couple screws/pickets. also depends how comfortable you feel on steepish snow. be fit and go light and fast

for 15 oz more, a light full down bag is probibly a better option if it means acutualy sleeping or shivering/sleeping
