Mr._Natural Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 For those that care... Over beers Bart, Matt, Mike and I discussed the whole Spindrift thing... Bart apparently issued the now infamous "correction" because to the best of his recollection, when we topped out we were very close to the westermost highpoint. If this were true than we could not have done the super prominant coulior which terminates close to the low point between the summit and the hight point to the west. However, after discussing recent ascents it is very clear that everyone has climbed the same line, the obvious one, not the verticle bushwack to the right. Quote
Dru Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 and what was the consensus re: "dogging the &@#*< out of it" and downgrading? Quote
Mr._Natural Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 it wasn't discussed although the official spew sprayshaw fan club has now been established. join now! Quote
Dru Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 membership in that fan club is currently open only to eligible females. any Ms. Natural out there may apply....send photo of qualifications. Quote
mattp Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 Actually, you could have topped out to the right. When Dan and I did the climb, we took a right-forking couloir about 300 feet below the summit ridge and it topped out close to that right-most peak. Dru-why don't you go "stir the pot" in Spray.

Mr._Natural Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 Damn it matt, just when I thought we were done... Neither of us could remember (it was 7 years ago) leaving the obvious gully. Quote

mattp Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 Yo, Natural. Don't sweat it. The answer is "A AND B," not "A OR B." The most obvious gully-- that is the deepest spindrift trough, actually was the one that trended rightward. At the time, we could see that we were indeed taking a "fork" in the sense that we could have continued more straight up, and the parties that followed us a few days later took a more straight up finish because, I think, the way we took looked as if it might lead to a greater cornice problem. Like they say -- "it's all good" (at least as long as you top out and then find your way back down again in one piece). Quote
layton Posted March 10, 2003 Author Posted March 10, 2003 Somebody better call Nelson and stop the presses. He was supposed to email me, but never got around to it. I don't know him, so I'll leave it to someone who does. Jason, I know your reading this. Put what you want in your guidebook, not what nelson did. that way you, Nelson, and Kearney can have the contradictory triumverate of guidebooks on big 4. Confuse the hell outta the folks from California..haha! Quote
