Dru Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 I just read that Kenton Cool, Ian Parnell (both UK) and John Varco (US) sent that line on Annapurna 3 that was Alpinist Mags's #1 unclimbed line in the last issue Alpine style 7 days up 3 down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken4ord Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 That is an impressive feat. When I saw that article I was wondering how long it would be before those lines started going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinfox Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 I met that Kenton kat on Denali in 2002 after he did the second ascent of the "Denali Diamond". He was wandering around the 17K camp trying to mooch "tea and crumpets" from everybody. Who brings "crumpets" on Denali!?!?? Damn limeys... He told me that his favorite "moderate" alpine route was the moonflower buttress on Hunter. Sure is a sweet looking line, but I don't know if it's "moderate". Can anyone find/post a picture of the SW ridge of Annapurna III? Fishtail: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plexus Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 Where's Fishtail at? Karakorum? Height? Do they provide porters or do you have to rent your own ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
