Climbing all the Selects?

[John Frieh]

For Select 1 first edition the crux will be EDMR

 

For Select 1 second edition the crux will be Yokum

 

Hey Jim: any plans for Select 2 second edition? If so are you taking nominations for additional climbs?

In Select 1 first edition I'm short 5...

Hi John! I saw you at Mark Westman's slide show on Wenesday, but I was too shy to come up and say howdy Based on your previous posts, I'm guessing those five climbs are:

 

DC - Rainier

Backbone Ridge-Dragontail

Serpentine Ridge-Dragontail

Triple Couloirs-Dragontail

Colchuck Glacier-Dragontail

 

Am I right? What about the rest of you who are getting close to ticking them all, which routes do you have left?

A smart card player keeps his cards on his chest

 

Previous posts huh? Stalker You should have introduced yourself at the slideshow... I don't bite

"Maybe I can blame in on the fact that I this was my first time in to Colchuck Lake..."

Not a stalker, but a fan of both your writing and your climbs. Your Curtis Ridge and Gunsite climb were both super inspiring, maybe next summer I'll get up them also!

[John Frieh]

Good climbs but go do DNB on Bear while you still can. As good as CNR on Stuie IMO (though more wild alpine feel and no crowds). Stalker

I think if you descend a classic after ascending a harder classic, that should count for both. That way you can do two at once... and maybe it will enable wayne to get his adams routes out of the way and john to get down the dc.

Has Eve Dearborne Memorial Route been climbed more than once? Any select climbs (first volume/edition) still waiting a 2nd ascent?

[wayne]

no to EDM , volII, maybe the pencil?

[pms]

good one Wayne, thanks for reminding about the Pencil.

Did the Skoog route on the East side of Gunsight ever get climbed again before cllapsing? The West side Nelson route hasn't been repeated along the original line the whole way.

I always assumed the Pencil second ascent was by Matt Kerns and Pat Mcnerthey (sp) or at least the photos in the guidebooks make it look that way

[Sol]

anyone make the third ascent of the dissapearing floor route on hardy yet?

 

that face would be killer in winter conditions when all the kitty litter is frozen.
