Zoran Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 (edited) Nice Colin! ... you should put that stuff on the cover of Alpinist. beautiful  Climbers talking about your climb all over the world. Especially in Slovenia, Italy and Germany. Patagonia is their playground. I too think it's one of the best climbs recently. Kelly is coming to Vancouver soon. I am looking forward to see his slide show.  Edited January 19, 2007 by Zoran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 Thanks again, guys. Answers to a few technical questions: Â For rack we brought 9 screws, 1 set of nuts, 6 cams, 5 pins, and 4 pickets. It was pretty much right on, although more screws wouldn't have hurt sometimes and we could've taken only 4 cams. Â We had considered it, but decided not to bring a shovel. Â It's hard to say how cold it was during our bivy, but it was certainly below freezing. Â In addition to our 70m 9.2mm, we brought a 60m 5mm. We used it to haul our packs on the headwall pitch, and we also used it for a few rappels on the compressor route, although the 70m by itself would've been fine. We brought the 5mm rope mostly in case we needed to bail or descend via the West Face, in which case making full-length rappels would've been much better.
