JimS My dad (David C) told me about your trip up the southface and seeing the bear fall. Crazy thing to see. Any chance it was hunting season? Reading your post inspired me to get out the copy of my dad's climbing journal that I have and see what came up. No solos, but I found the entry from his 3rd (of 9) successful summit trips that includes you. "1980, End of May ascent with PeterH, JimS, Jean and Terri. Essentially a long snow ascent. We set some belays both going up and down, and climb above valley fog. Visually, it's one of my more interesting Bonanza climbs." I assume this is the Mary Green route based off the snow description? Additionally, the Medic working for Rio Tinto and the mine clean up told me that her now husband was part of the Soviet team that came through the village in 75. Would that be accurate? If so, small world. Eric, Thank you for the inspiring TR. I remember when you passed through Holden last year, my buddy Dale spoke with you briefly on your way up to Hart. Makes me miss living there.
