What do you want to see climbed this Winter?

I'll just be glad to get up Polar Circus without having to descend in the dark.

 

Better make that clear to your guide

 

guide? Is that something you read?

[Phil K]

How about the NE Buttress of J-berg? Oleg tried it last year and bailed when the weather went ca-ca. I think it would actually be much worse getting off then getting up. It was in summer!

Buck Mtn. I've been wondering about winter ascents of that North face gully (right side of photo)

 

Is that the gully in the Scurlock picture that dberdinka posted (#3?)?

The picture of Buck Mountain is the picture of Buck Mountain.

Under the right conditions it is a fantastic winter route. Descending the route from our high point ( aways below the summit) was not too bad.

Anything I can climb in this.

Thermogenesis. December 31st.

 

Fuck yeah...Its on!

[Colin]

How about:

 

1. 2nd winter ascent of NE Buttress of Slesse

2. First winter ascent of N Buttress of Bear

3. Winter ascent of Willis Wall (not that ski run, "Thermogenesis" to the right)

4. First winter ascent of N Face of Triumph

5. Repeat "Intravenous" on Chiwawa Mtn

6. 3rd winter ascent NE Butt J-Berg. If I were to do it again, I think descending the route actually would be a pretty good idea.

7. First winter ascent of the N Face of either E McMillan, W McMillan, or Mt. Terror

[G-spotter]

Why think so small. FWA Navigator Wall. Free.

Lots more to do here! But like Baring, Mount Index is low so don't count on anything coming in.

Just to mess with certain people . . .

[pms]

ooh, now we're talkin. Any fixed pro on the crux pitch on #5? Give us another 6 for a bakers doz. I thought that climb last year on Whitehorse sure looked awesome for a 2nd WA. Can I spread a rumor of a possible ski descent of the K/M on Middle Index. I think I'd be happy with a 2nd ascent CLIMB of that one.

Everything

word - the most enjoyable part of oleg n' me's joyride last year was bailing down the vertical forest in the snow and gale - rapping through the jungle was utterly funky - a place where having 2 ropes sure as hell wouldn't help!

 

descending the route has the virtue of steering clear of more avy terrain

heart of darkness

east face of pyramid (right of ain't over)

[daler]

yeah- and if you hire the right guide you will back to the car in under 6 hours!

[jmace]

Winter is on our doorstep

[G-spotter]
