bigwalling Posted December 15, 2004 Author Share Posted December 15, 2004 I'm so glad my post inspired the cc.com community to bitch about what a fucking winter ascent really is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaskadskyjKozak Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 and how do winter ascents work in the southern hemisphere? their winter? Yes. What if the approach begins in one hemisphere and the summit lies in the other? Are there any mountains that are located right on the equator - say in Ecuador?

Dru Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 If the first ascent of a climb is made in winter conditions during calendar winter and i later climb it in summer, can I claim a "first summer ascent?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 What if the approach begins in one hemisphere and the summit lies in the other? Are there any mountains that are located right on the equator - say in Ecuador? This applies to Erden. Where he is starting in Seattle, riding his bike to Miami, rowing his boat to South America, then riding his bike to the base of Aconcagua, then climbing the mountain....only to reverse the whole thing.

I think the classification of the ascent as Winter or not is the least of his worries. That guy is a true iron-man... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeebus Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 If the first ascent of a climb is made in winter conditions during calendar winter and i later climb it in summer, can I claim a "first summer ascent?" no you can't. I will probably do it before you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billygoat Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Hot damn! To see Colin slamming Iain and CPB put the slap down on Minx... That is some rare stuff. The rest of you jokers are always at each other's throats. Did we really get into Continental plates?! There are only two things: Date and Conditions. Anything else is nit picking with tweezers... I'm gonna donate some more $$$, this is phun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Crash Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 if you get the hand under the sweater but over the bra is it second base or not? Dru, you should ask these questions in the Newbies forum. They'll help ya. drC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
