kurthicks Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I lost a carbon fiber Black Prophet near the NE Buttress 1951 snow patch on Johannesberg. The most likely location is marked in the photo. We had to haul my pack on a pitch and it disappeared somewhere in that gulley, just below the first step in the gulley. I know it's a long shot...

kurthicks Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 I consider it a lost cause. But, I'm just thinking that if someone else happens to climb that route...perhaps they would look for it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelawgoddess Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 that would suck losing an ice tool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurthicks Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 Not to mention that you have to climb 50 degree snow with a caveman-esque rock for an axe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Axes are aid. There, someone had to say it. Seriously, bummer about the loss, wazzu. Hope someone finds it and gets it back to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 awesome - can't wait to hear the trip report. if you were truly a cave-man, you'd use the rock to bash the skull of your partner in and take his axe! if i can get juan psyched up enough, we'll go up there in another week and look for your trash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sobo Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Had to do something similar to that about 20 years ago on the Middle Teton Glacier, although I had my trusty Swiss Army knife with me to save the day. Never listen to the ranger when he says that you won't need crampons and ice axe. Well, scratch that; I'm sure he thought that I'd stay on the donkey trail and not go x-country...
