John Frieh Posted April 14, 2006 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainmatt Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 When were the photos taken? April? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Frieh Posted April 14, 2006 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Frieh Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
