catbirdseat Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 I'm looking for partners to try Slippery Slab Tower on Saturday and Sunday. Send me a PM if you are interested. Quote
Dru Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 Saturday AND Sunday? Some sort of seige ascent? "This steep ice looks like a great place to test out these new high-altitude tents" Quote
catbirdseat Posted December 18, 2003 Author Posted December 18, 2003 It could be done in a day, but it would be a hard day. Quote
Dru Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 oh my bad, i thought you were talking about that 1-pitch high sandstone tower near chumstick snag Quote
erik Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 i would bet $50 between cbs and dru to see who could do it first in winter. race starts saturday!!! Â my money would be on cbs. Quote
Dru Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 ya i'd bet on cbs too cause i dont even know where it is so he'd be driving there while i was looking thru beckey! Quote
catbirdseat Posted December 18, 2003 Author Posted December 18, 2003 Come on. If you look hard enough, I am sure you will find that someone has already done it in winter. Quote
erik Posted December 19, 2003 Posted December 19, 2003 i dont doubt that cbs. i am proposing a race between you and drul. he is talk mad shit about how petty it is, so i am calling him out on it. Â have fun doing it! Quote
catbirdseat Posted December 19, 2003 Author Posted December 19, 2003 (edited) I picked it specifically because it is doable with marginal weather by someone like me who is typically out of shape in December. Â BTW, I think it would be just grand if Dru would break trail and kick in the steps. Knowing him as I do, I'll break trail and he'll pass me just as I am approaching the base of the tower.

catbirdseat Posted December 20, 2003 Author Posted December 20, 2003 My partner just dislocated his finger. He doesn't know if he will be up to going. Is there anyone else who might be interested? We've got the weather for Sunday. Quote
lancegranite Posted December 20, 2003 Posted December 20, 2003 Erik not post all is truth of deal, is solo race to sum mit. How do say?... wiener talk all! Quote
catbirdseat Posted December 26, 2003 Author Posted December 26, 2003 I'd like to give this another shot on Sat.-Sun., Dec 27-28. Weather will be snow showers, but cold, so it shouldn't be too wet. PM me if you are interested. Quote
