kurthicks Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 (edited) 2 people climbing the infamous "pencil" pitch on Polar Circus. edit:just wanted to say that I didn't take this pic... Edited December 28, 2004 by wazzumountaineer Quote
Jens Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 Sweet pic! I'll put my money on the guy on the right. ___ Does the big horizontal crack at the top of that pitch (out of view) ever fill in all the way? Quote
olyclimber Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 Just compare the amount of protection placed. You can save alot of time if you don't protect your climb. Quote
Kevin_Matlock Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 I'll put my money on the guy on the right. Mine's on the huge ice block that can only stand the weight of one climber... Quote
Stephen_Ramsey Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 Awesome pic, thanks for posting. Quote
kurthicks Posted December 28, 2004 Author Posted December 28, 2004 it's too bad that it will probably fall down this weekend when the temps hit -10 or so. Quote
Jedi Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 At first, I figured it was french climber trying to beat someone up the pitch. Then I realized if the guy in red was french, he just would have clipped the other guys' screws for pro. Quote
dbb Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 it's obvious who the asshole is though, isn't it. Quote
ken4ord Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 it's obvious who the asshole is though, isn't it. Aww, come on Dave, you don't know the story. Also climbing on either side of the column they are not going to send ice down on each other, but those poor belayers have no place to hide. Quote
Dru Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Pencil more like Crayon as of Jan 01 and still standing in -30 but no one wanted to test its stability. Quote
