MysticNacho Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Great balls of fire... I was just looking in the Alpine Select of SW BC book and discovered this massive gargantuan peak. It says mostly solid rock that is "difficult to protect." Any of you out there climbed this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken4ord Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Yeah that was me, it took me a while to figure out which way to have my finger positioned for the shallow mono, and I had to wait for the right conditions inorder to stick the sloper.

jordop Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Druid, when/who was/did/done diagonal bail and north arete?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 the diagonal bail off was done during an attempt prior to the fa. basically it involves avoiding all the crux pitches in favor of 4th class bush heading left  the n ridge is written up in the caj.  the photo was taken feb/02 and the winter ascent will hopefully be investigated shortly when good weather strikes and all the other foos are out vying for the fwa of w face of sloan... one attempt this winter already got about 400m-500m up before weather came in  i could be killed for telling you this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticNacho Posted February 4, 2004 Author Share Posted February 4, 2004 Well Dru, since you're already going to be killed because you told us all this, you might as well spill the whole can of beans. I want a TR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
