Sweet! You guys are gettin' after it! Do you live 'roudn WorthLeaven or somethin'? Eric(MisterE) and I met you guys at the TH last year just after Der Dihedral I'm pretty sure. you guys were up on the W ridge of CBR.

nice guys!

never mind i just ordered one from MEC online at a reduced price. sweet. I love this pack and rue the day i had to trade it for a cam i dropped.

does anyone sell these anymore!!! chirst, no one has anything anywhere. looking for the Serratus Genie equivolent. i.e. stuff sack with straps...no frame, padding, bullshit. just a sleeve for a hydration bladder, zippered top flap for snacks and shades, and two tool loops and daisy chain for poon lashing. anyone got an extra genie?

see, i'm not always full of shit. nice work. All 3 of us spotted the line BTW. did the topo work for ya? and what'dya think of III 5.10? sounds 'bout right?

watch some guy EPIC trying to aid the 10th pitch while 2nding...took hours!!!! poor poor belayer.

olyclimber is hooking me up. probably by winter to be honest

Hey, I hope your ankle heals soon. I feel your pain my brother!

try da east face of burgundy next time!

thanks!!

thanks!

thanks all

After talking with Capillini, we are pretty sure that 1.)it's a grade III 5.10 (super sustained, but not super duper technical) and those other guys in the 70's more likely than not went straight up from middle of pitch two cuz its more obvious and more straightforeward. Dan also thinks they came in from the left and didn't do Rolf's dihedral pitch. So if anyone knows their line and if it was on this spire, please contact me.

Hey, So i've got about an hour of truly amazing digital video footage i took with my friends camera. My problem is that i don't have a firewire jack on my laptop to edit from the video camera he has (only option to connect his camera to my 'puter as far as either of us know). Anyway, i've do two killer digital video tapes just laying around. I need to edit them down b/c 80% of the footage is unusable shakey, swirley, sunglaring crap. Any ideas of how i can either a.)hook the dig video camera to the computer so i can edit with Premier or b.)where can i go to edit and save the good clips to cd? thank you so much for helping! i will share my footage when i am done.

hey! nice dude! remember me BTW? we guided baker together sooo long ago.

Rolf, they also could've gone straight up from pitch 2, which was a more obvious line while on route. it would be neat to see if they did that and see what type of line that would've made. we'll probably never know. anyways, i'm still gonna call it acid baby cuz it's fun to say. just did the first ascent of the entire n cascades range today if anyone is interested.

Rolf wants to do dragonfly, not madness. madness looks pretty stupid. we only had one day so no go on davis. Dan, I'd like to know more about that route. how did you hear of it? maybe they're the same or share pitches? did it get in the AAJ but not the Beckey or something?

couldn't say...i got a headache looking at the becky guide. I think the Aasgard sentinel was south facing, and this thing was west facing. It's most of the way up the pass, pretty obvious when you're close to it, and it's near where the trail gets close to the walls on the east side of the pass aroudn a grove of trees.

it's only a model

that nut we foudn was very old. non-wire type, and the sling was completely rotted away. there are way easier option to get to that ledge where the nut was. i'm assuming someone went exploring and bailed. but ya never know, so sick old hardman/woman could'a sent it with bongs, hexes, pins, coconuts, and a few floppy style nuts. a quality line like this so close to the pass should have been recorded or whispers and rumors at least. and if you read carefully, i have FRA, not FA...we just like giving things names. I'd wager it's an FA, but as with most things in life, who the fuck cares? it was just nice not to be tied down with an instruction manual. Just like i read too deeply into other folks's comments, be aware that you may do the same with mine when I post a TR...especially of an FA. The reason i post these is for one to avoid confusion for further "repeat" 1st ascents of the same route! I'm definately not sitting up on a throne say...ha ha look how fucking cool we are. If someone else did it before, great, good for them. It's the adventure of not knowing that i like. I sure wish they reported it though, kinda silly not to unless it's stupid. Finally, the whole grading thing is a total bitch. I try to give an honest opinion of what i think the grade is without trying to look like a hardman by sandbagging, or a megalomaniac by overgrading. It's so damn subjective. I would love to have someone climb something I've done and downgrade the shit out of it, but to tell me, hey thanks that was a heck of a lot of fun, i'm glad you spotted that sweet line.

yeah i had to guide that fucker in april! screw that bullshit, i herded em to camp and said avy conditions were bad...waited...and got my measely $150. No way would i get paid that to herd folks up in winter with absolutely no experience. that said, super easy in summer. no problem. do it, thousands of other have!
