I saw that dihedral 10 years ago if that's what you mean by fresh

oh wait no, ours is one ridge up the hill

is this near where Erik and my "Der Dihedral" links in?

yeah, that's why I re-posted that other photo! crazy! Thanks off

Yo! I've got a TR to post and can't post photos.

Here's both lines (as best as I can recall). We cut left where Erik and Rolf went up as seen here. We had no idea that the summit was unclimbed...maybe we'd have done a summit bivy if we knew that, instead of rapping what later became "After Hours" well shit, after all this I can't upload a photo? It'll be sitting on my desktop until someone tells me where the upload photo link went to?? Until then, I think you can click it as an attachment on this post?

There's a giant diherdal just to the right of the down arrow on the mountain behind and to the right

Mox was Wolfe's 2nd alpine climb....can't be too hard, eh?

no, that's my little trick

Rolf inflates all his grades to show off.

Do laps on the concentric stone rings on campus. Drink beer and eat popcorn at the beaver. get fat and forget how to climb until summer.

someone may have been up there as well ... god damnit, what's his name?....grrr can't remember. climbs at vantage and newhalem a lot. older. wayne knows... Rolf, did we leave a long spool of red tat? Past that point I seem to recall that we ran out rather suddenly and may have "left" some? We only saw one buttonhead, nothing else. We placed that pin for backup. That joker is two or three pitches higher, up and to the left, of where you guys bivied. Speaking of joking, we finally agreed upon 5.11- r/x as the grade. The 5.9+ A2- rating was a joke.

Hell Yeah! Looks like we share a couple pitches midway - we did indeed hook a left at that photo. Way to push your route to the summit! Also glad to see y'all agreeing with the suffering on the approach and difficult climbing. Hell yeah! I'm glad erik and I didn't do that traverse and gully descent in the dark. We got a late start climbing on day one waiting for it to stop raining. Cold bivy, eh? And your welcome for clearing a nature trail with Eric's machette.

Awesome! Gene, it was so cool to run into you at the City with Craig and Suzanne.

Hell of a day!

haha! i'm having too much fun climbing every day of the week out here John. a much needed respite from cascade slogging...but I'm JEALOUS as shit for the route y'all have been doing. I may get a gig that's 7 on 7 off .... so maybe I'll log some freq. flier milage come out here and play in the fall

Sweet! I figured that ridge was gonna be a LOT easier. Cool, nice nab. How Mantis and the area look for wintertime activities?

Nice job TEAM!

Has this seen a repeat yet? I don't think so, but there looks like plenty of new route potential there and nearby

Judging by your questions, you're probably not ready.

Yes but then I'd have to read this thread vs. skimming it and making witty comments. fuck that I'm going bouldering in LCC

notice the grill guard for extra ramming power

you can borrow my machette, i no longer require it. it is by will alone

24 hour fitness is actually a pretty good gym as long as you don't hire a trainer or go to a crowded one.

Yo! It doesn't matter what she said cuz no one like that is gonna listen anyway. All her client needed to do was anything different than she was doing before. p.s. exercise science has the WORST studies of just about any field out there.
