Jason_Martin Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 Hello All, I'm currently looking into a trip in this area. Any information concerning references or guidebooks would be helpful. I'm not interested in more references to "The Great Canadian Knife." I am however interested in moderate route suggestions from 5.6 - 10b with aid up to A3. Thanks for the help.

Jason I just saw in On The Edge Magazine 114, that Iker Pou (3rd ascent of Action Directe 14d) and his brother Enaki, did the 2nd free ascent of the Great Canadian Knife last summer...

crazyjizzy Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 How about the Original Route on Proboscus? Twelve pitches, 5.9 A3, with aid on only three pitches. Kroese's book has the topo. And of course Lotus. And the Butt on Mt. Sir James McBrein. See the 1974 or 75 AAJ for Galen Rowells write up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjizzy Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 For a Guide/Writer/Grad Student you aren't very smart. How did this end up in Gear Review, and why aren't you capable of basic research like this. Your a "Guide" for Gods sake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambone Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 You guys need to chill, firts Alex you're sounding too much like a needy fiance. I speak from experience. And J man, he just wants some beta for christ sakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just looked up shit in the AAJ. I guess todays internet climbers are lazy and dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
