dan_forester Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 probably the coolest place I've ever been. anyone climbed any of the other formations around the finger? like the arrowhead, the coffin, etc? Quote
ivan Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 the double crack is sweet the upside down gay-ass tennis hat instead of thick ass mountie skull bucket is classic Quote
John Frieh Posted April 14, 2006 Author Posted April 14, 2006 I forgot my helmet in PDX that trip and the best I could do was a visor Not that there is much in my brain worth protecting. I need to scan some slides but I have a lot more porn from that area. Sawtooths Quote
John Frieh Posted April 14, 2006 Author Posted April 14, 2006 I pulled those from a bunch of different people's galleries on this website including mine. Finger usually gets good about July... Anytime before that and you'll have to deal with snow on the approach and as the open book is on the north face a very chilly climb. There are 2 TRs in the TR index for reference (perhaps the mods will move those TRs here to the NEW IDAHO FORUM). Quote
John Frieh Posted April 14, 2006 Author Posted April 14, 2006 Worth combining w/ the open book if you have time. Watch out for weather afternoon build up! Quote
corvallisclimb Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 Ya when we where topping out the finger we where almost getting blown off. Cant wait to get back there. Quote
John Frieh Posted April 19, 2006 Author Posted April 19, 2006 That's a nice vest cowboy. That's actually a windshirt Thanks though! Keeps me warm when I don't have a tent mate Also provides excellent friction for chimney climbing... Quote
sobo Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 and comes with a built-in racking sling for Neutrinos... so you don't lose them on big granite north walls! sorry John, couldn't resist it... Quote
John Frieh Posted April 19, 2006 Author Posted April 19, 2006 That vest is going to end up in the cc.com museum some day Quote
Stewart_Harbalski Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 I hear the piton on the summit block is Bomber! Quote
John Frieh Posted June 5, 2006 Author Posted June 5, 2006 Do yer ballz ache for a hasty return? How about Astro E or Baron Spire? I'll drive! Quote
