StreetBoss Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil K Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthirloway Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 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?)?

DPS Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 (edited) 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! 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. Edited November 17, 2006 by danielpatricksmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arc Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Thermogenesis. December 31st. Fuck yeah...Its on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 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.

pms Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 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. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
