Tony_Bentley Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Wayne, the pics are a little small. Maybe 700 pixels would be better? Really a great feat. I'm thinking Mike Swayne's photo got you thining about it but there is nothing like staring right at it from Spectre and planning the attack while climbing another unclimbed route in the Pickets. Pretty classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erden Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 It seems the bees provided the biggest objective hazard, I see the nicely placed sting Good job Wayne, congratulations.

scottgg Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Good Stuff Wayne! So what made you decide to go it alone and not get a strong back or two to help carry in? I was pretty pumped after Colins slide show also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 Good Question, I really tried to find someone but ran out of time, The concrete strike ended fri and I was late getting back the next monday from the trip. My boss was pissed. I dont mind going solo. It intensifies the experience. I almost always prefer to partner up. I finished the tr, btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
