Awesome! Thanks guys. Someday I hope to get on this. A question about the history here. I believe first ascent was 2009. Who placed the 1993 bolt?

Nice job! Loved all the old photos of your parents. Nice job. Looked like north ridge was tough. Were you able to find good placements in spite of the ice?

I ran into the guys that had to leave them on the way up asgard. They told me i could have the ropes, but i think you got there before i did I think you were the party just ahead of us on saturday. I insisted that I would get the ropes and give them back, but they insisted that I keep them. I believe both ropes were cut. Given that you packed them out you should keep them.

How is he road? can you get to the trailhead no problem? I need to drive my small rv up there...

Tri-cams are great for belays. They are too annoying to fiddle with on lead. Although I am getting faster. Also, they are great for pockets. Tricams are much lighter than the comparable cam and can be placed in horizontal cracks where nuts are a no go. End of story. I always carry the pink and red and save them for the belay (generally).

Does anyone want to climb at exit 38 today? I’ll be available from 11:00am to about 8:00pm. Skills necessary: • Belay a leader • Be cool and laid back I will lead up to 5.10a and of course try and follow whatever. 425.522.3606 -Adam

I think that fixed draws have their place. Little Si is a great place for them, agreed. However, why did they make them so stand out'ish. They should have made them more camouflaged. I think bolts and permanent gear should be painted to blend in so it can't be seen from below. It would avoid a lot of the problems we run into with access and criticism etc.
