pu Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 Sort of late. Looking for a last minute partner for Iconoclast or Mary Jane. Pm Me and leave a phone #. I am coming from the East and can be there by noon. Quote
RuMR Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 are you up for a nice slow ascent??? We can paint a big red set of lips on our rearends to tell all the parties piling up bleow to "kiss my ass"! Quote
specialed Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 You can establich camp 1 on Porn Ledge Friday night. Then if the weather is favorable and you get the OK from the Expedition Leader in Basecamp proceed a half pitch up and fix lines Saturday. Sunday, if the HAPE hasn't set in yet and frostbit is minimal, make a committing sprint for the summit with packs weighing only 30 lbs each. Its summit or death, either way you win. Quote
RuMR Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 sounds like the ticket...you know where we can find some packSHEEP and a SHEEPA (or is that sherpa?) or two?? Quote
Lithophiliac Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 No, I'd prefer to do both routes in a day to at least up the average. Besides, few vertical turtles attempt Iconoclast!! Quote
specialed Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 That would surely be impressive if you climbed Pyschopath - Iconoclast - Hyperspace plus any other route on the wall in a day. Give it a go and let us know how it turns out. Quote
Lithophiliac Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Way ahead of you man. Did that via Hyperspace and Mary Jane in July 1990. Would love to do Hyperspace again, but need to be sure I know my partner. The "pressure chamber" was f-ing sick, but I'm glad I did it. Quote
specialed Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Awesome. After going through the pressure chamber I definitly didn't feel like climbing anything else. I guess the key would be to do the other route first. Quote
Lithophiliac Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 That was my opinion after it was all over. Hyperspace was much more psychologically intimidating so we did that first, but Mary Jane would have been a great warm up. I thought psychopath was an excellent and well protected climb dispite the PG-13/2 skull rating they give it. Quote
specialed Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 All the pitches on that climb are ripper. Pyschopath has good, albeit small, gear. Quote
