Alpinfox Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 (edited) AlpineDave and I climbed Infinite Bliss yesterday. Good fun. As we were preparing to leave the car, up drove ChucK and Jeff H.! ChucK didn't seem too happy to see us and said something to the effect of, "Oh no, the picture taker people are here!"... So, in honor of ChucK, here is my photo TR: ChucK is an excellent belayer: Jeff H. leading the first of two 5.10 pitches on the route: AlpineDave on second 5.10 pitch (crux) of the route: While leading this pitch, I broke off a small thumb hold right at the crux that I was pressing on; somehow I didn't fall. I don't know if most people used that hold, but maybe I just made the route a touch harder? There is quite a bit of camera tilt going on here, but since my 'puter is down, I don't have photoshop and can't fix it. It's a bit steeper than it looks here . AlpineDave showing off some manboobs on the summit of Infinite Bliss: Main peak of Garfield in the background. Name those peaks!: I think the tallest one on the right is Kaleetan and the tallest one on the left is Snoqualamie. True? Thanks AlpineDave, ChucK, and Jeff! p.s. For those who are interested, our split times were: 7:50am - left the car 8:30am - started at base of route 3:30pm - summit 6:45 pm - back at the base of the route no rapping in the dark! ChucK and Jeff beat us by about an hour. Edited May 15, 2004 by Alpinfox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucK Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 (edited) Thank you Pax! Your photo of me will please my sponsors. Tallest one on the left is Chair. Snoqualmie is very prominent but out of the frame to the left (you could see the slot/enigma couloir from up there). With respect to j_b's comment: there is a telltale sign that people do often rap off of the backside. With respect to Ken4d's comment: yup. Oh and one more thing, I think there is a GaperJeff or Jeffrey that posts here that is not the Jeff in that photo.

I thought they were one in the same. OK. Duely noted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
