Jens Posted December 28, 2004 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted December 28, 2004 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin_Matlock Posted December 28, 2004 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurthicks Posted December 28, 2004 Author Share Posted December 28, 2004 it's too bad that it will probably fall down this weekend when the temps hit -10 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted December 29, 2004 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbb Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 it's obvious who the asshole is though, isn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken4ord Posted December 29, 2004 Share 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.

Dru Posted January 4, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
