Juan Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Mr. GoodTime has consumed so much tequila in the last three years that he is now simply "Juan." Yes, the NE Slab is a snow climb right now. Reasonably secure most of the time. Doug Walker and I did it in a little under 4.5 hours "snow shoes to snow shoes." There were two other parties, the first of which was ahead of us and rapped as one member had lost a crampon at the base (this group was very nice to let us pass -- thank you Nolan and Ryan); the other group followed right behind us, and we saw them reach the N. Ridge when we were back at our snow shoes. Go for it, Phil. Good fun. And take a few pitons. You don't need ice screws right now, nor pickets.

nolanr Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 Hey Juan, where's all those beers you owe us for breaking trail and sharing the route w/ you? Actually we prefer donuts. A dozen or so, glazed should do the trick. Next time you break trail, we sleep in and follow easily in your tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plexus Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 Juan, You think Tequilla is good, you should try Mezcal!! Just be careful of the worm or make sure you are tied down with your slings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
