  1. I don't know Leor, but I once did Mt. Daniel with Uli when we were both students at the UW. After summiting, we ran a few miles back to the car, and there were brief periods when the guy actually seemed to lose contact with the surface of the earth and sort of float a few inches above the ground--very impressive.
  2. That was kinda cool...i actually watched the whole thing, which I almost never do when it comes to personal video. The music's a nice match, and I like the MTV-inspired effects, like the 'schwack cam and the negative color segments...neat.
  3. finished reading your report, but i can't stop gaping. nice! :tup::tup:
  4. ...condolences on your recent de-throning: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1033386
  5. damn....incredible shots. scary stuff! i'm frightened just looking at the pix...hold me!
  6. 50 miles? is that all? hardly seems worth the bother. seriously, if i had your legs and lungs, I'd throw away my car keys. nice pix, as usual. suggestion: change your handle to "Mercury."
  7. Had a great time reading your account on Summitpost. Congrats on an amazing adventure. That route looks incredible! :tup:
  8. hahahahaha! the video is funny ('specially the tent scene..heh) and nicely edited. nice music sync-up, too.
  9. ...another great TR! Some friends and I did that same C2C route a while back, but contended with far less snow. Nice Job! http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=568322 ...holy crap! I just checked the index and saw your archive post of TR's..sorry gotta go...I've got some reading to do! thx!
  10. Thanks for a great virtual trip! Your careful documentation made for a very engaging read and contained all the elements of a perfect adventure: an exotic location, a satisfying day on some challenging crags, new friends, good food, etc.--tough to beat! --looking forward to more!
  11. wow! kewl report, pix and vids! thanx for sharing. the drive must have been the crux; even though i've never climbed above 5.8, i would gladly have faced the perils of el cap rather than subject myself to even 5 minutes of bob dylan's caterwauling!
  12. omfg...that is bizarre! the thing actually went for you? unbelievable! ...looks like a pretty good sized goat, too. Glad your party's unscathed. Did that route a few years ago in normal summer conditions and loved it! very nice mellow c2c adventure. the crux is the drive from seattle: l-o-n-g! --thanx for a great report
  13. hahahahahhaha gr8 TR ...scaring the crap out of your friends: just one of the many benefits of climbing.
  14. OMG! That belay pic totally raises the bar for cute...hahahahha! gr8 stuff.
  15. kewl pix! congrats on ferreting out one of the last remaining places overseas where an american flag doesn't draw instant gunfire.
  16. those are some seriously schweet rainier pix! they made me move from my comfortable reclining position just so I could log in and tell you that. --thx
  17. i opened your file in MS Paint and hit the "untilt" button.
  18. Nice report and snaps! Sounds like you had a much easier time on the ledges than our party a few years ago--I guess we just missed finding the scramble route. The ridge route was fun, but if I were to repeat, I think I'd definitely just rap the W. Ridge for the descent--much faster and more secure. Thx again!
  19. Congratulations on an amazing climb! ..the sort of thing I'll only ever experience vicariously, but LOVE reading about. Thanks! ...and what a refreshingly dignified route name!
  20. Dang, that looks fun! Congrats on snagging it, and glad your friend stayed out of the gaper. Nice wow-pix!
  21. Those are some sweet shots! Especially the mega-schrund.
