Cheers to shredmaximus for the web server Sunrise just below St Elmo’s Pass The long traverse The team – Jay, Sarah, Jarred, Tim Coming up the lower ridge: Thumb Rock or Camp Muir??? You decide.

texplorer Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 Sweet pics Crackman. Another climb I wish I could have been on. Quote
ivan Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 to all camasites & fat climbs (that's at least 2 good ones for you lately, no?) Quote
HernyG Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 You know, all you people that depart Thumb Rock 4 hours before the crack of dawn mostly miss seeing the wonderful 5000 feet of exposure above the Carbon. Accidentally over sleep! Then be the last party to leave Thumb Rock at 7 AM or so, and see what a fantastic climb the ridge is during the daylight. The shrud looks quite a bit different than last year. Quote

First LR climb I dropped a powerbar into the inky abyss during a rest atop the black pyramid. Couldn't believe the view from there during an afternoon ascent on the next trip. You do miss ALOT between the Thumb and the scrund in the dark. Quote
Jarred_Jackman Posted June 14, 2003 Posted June 14, 2003 With the heat we had the only thing we missed was 6 hours of slogging up 40-45 degree slopes in 80 degree heat. The night time is the right time! Thanks for the pics Tim! Quote
