Carbonj Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 We were at base of dragontail when Tim Wilson and John came down after doing that route and Tim said it was pretty cool, weird thing was one of them seemed to be telemarking with ramer bindings. Also in 88 or 89 mike martin and I did a similar climb of N ridge of stuart, left side of lower ridge to notch then to the gendarme out on the NE face, it was late march so not winter,but winter conditions it snowed a foot that night after the climb, cool avalanches.

JasonG Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Wow, those accounts by Mr. Davis were great! Quote
kukuzka1 Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) I do not know exactly where their route goes but I am guessing this is the aprox line as he mentions in the post when they emerged onto the north ridge they were surprised they missed the access gully to the upper north ridge and they were close to the gendarme. I think I have seen photo with some steep good ice in the lower ridge. PHOTO CREDIT ED COOPER Also at the base of the gendarme they finished on the NE face Edited September 3, 2020 by kukuzka1 Photo credit 1 Quote

Carbonj Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 Yep from what I remember, went up Ice Cliff glacier,up gully to notch on N ridge to gendarme then left up NE face. Everything was plastered with snice, the cruxes were the ridge snow covered rock and the top of NE face digging thru the cornice. The coolest part of the climb for me was when I was leading on the ridge deeply engrossed in little if any pro and huge shadow came over me, looking up I was staring at the largest and very close golden eagle, I could look right in those eyes don't know who was more surprised thought I was gonna get nailed by big chunk of rock or ice. 1 1 Quote
glassgowkiss Posted November 25, 2020 Posted November 25, 2020 (edited) "Intravenous"- someone should do a direct finish For Aint over motherfuckers I can loan warthogs to whoever wants to repeat that rig. Big prize in the range should be NE face of Triumph Edited November 25, 2020 by glassgowkiss 1 Quote
