has anyone skied from newhalem to mazama or the other way around? i know the skoogs did it a while ago.

i do this all the time. it works great with a mini traxion and back up knots or two mini trax. i have to take up the slack by hand to keep it tight, but with vertical crack type climbs, this is not such a problem up to 12a

I was on the nose and tommy caldwell and beth rodden were right ahead of us - they were just going to dolt tower with a client. caldwell led off, and before beth started to climb, i found myself staring at her belay loop. "hmmm", i thought, "beth rodden's belay loop..." then i thought, "hey look, she has two mini traxions attached to her belay loop!" i asked what was up, and she told me about her tr solo rig. she was ascending solo on a fixed line with mini traxions while tommy dealt with their client errr friend. "Tommy showed it to me," she said, and then she was gone. thats how i learned how to get great mileage in on tr solo, by looking at beth rodden's belay loop.

this is a very nice trip report and you seem like very nice young men. i am sorry to hear about your pants.
i would like to do this route, but worry that i am too weak and timid. can you assure me about the chimney pitch and the traverse under the roof? are these very, very run out? will they make me feel even more insecure?
thank you for your help.

the pitch between godzilla and slow children -- the first and only sucks and it is right off the anchor.

the only problem i have is with truly dangerous (bone breaking / death) fall potential on rap bolted routes. its not fair to have the first ascent toprope a dangerous route into submission and then expect everyone else to lead it ground up.
