skykilo Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 No. Even if you approach predawn or whatever. You can rap or scramble without hitting ice until it is so low angle it will never matter. I can't believe you're asking this question you f'ing wanker! These climbs are so far from cutting edge. Pathetic little hikes in an unimpressive range...

skykilo Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 (That was sarcasm. I really don't mean to bust your chops or anything. Your rants are somewhat amusing.) I'll add a few of these: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Maybe take an axe for the way off, but we didnt' use our crampns two weeks ago coming off after Serpentine. The snow is not that steep on the back, and the snow at the base as manageable ini boots. Sharp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
