olyclimber Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Congrats to Scurlock for the feature in the upcoming Alpinist! I'm looking forward to seeing this article! http://www.alpinist.com/p/tcl31-6 Quote
John Frieh Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 If the zorro face gets climbed by two colorado bro bras I blame you Mr Scurlock Looking forward to it Quote
John_Scurlock Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 If the zorro face gets climbed by to colorado bro bras I blame you Mr Scurlock Looking forward to it Zorro has TOTAL SCORN for puny Colorado climbers!!! (& probably the same for even punier aerial photographers...) Hey, I would be nothing without you, my many friends in this forum, & my sincere thanks to all. JS Quote
Off_White Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 "An early attempt this summer was thwarted before the climbing actually began" I guess that identifies one of Layton & Wayne's failed big projects this summer,eh? I'm looking forward to the TR when that one gets done. Nice to see John get some credit, his work has had a huge effect on Cascade mountaineering in recent years. Quote
ZimZam Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Congrats on your up coming piece, and thanks for those awesome pics. Top shelf. Quote
wayne Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Right, :sarcasm: The Picket Traverse in Winter. Line forms on the left for that one. Props to you John. I like how you can click on the different projects. The heat is on for the Hoze! (line forms on the right for that one.) Seriously though that thing might be the closest thing we have to unapproachable in the range. Off-White the other was the bad n ridge of E Twin Needle. Hey and Props to the Young Guns of Gunsite fame in the new Climbing rag Quote
crackers Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 It's a beautiful spread. And the article is really well written. It's definitely too short. I still think that you should do a book John... Interestingly, they picked the McMillan Spires shot that I used for my holiday card. Quote
Choada_Boy Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 What does "thwarted before the climbing actually began" mean? They didn't get in the car? If so, my multiple attempts at the face have been thwarted before the actual climbing began. Great job again, John!!! Quote
John_Scurlock Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 What does "thwarted before the climbing actually began" mean? Really says something about the magnitude of the problem when the "approach" is seemingly as difficult & hazardous as other big climbs in the range. The talent & determination was certainly there... just my .02 cts worth on that. Like OW, I ultimately look forward to the tr. I will then be out in the yard doing a primal scream, just as I did after Mike's phone call on SEM. btw, thxs, CB, & everyone else, I appreciate the kind thoughts. Quote
olyclimber Posted August 24, 2007 Author Posted August 24, 2007 Excellent thought. I think I'll go out on the front porch and let off a primal scream myself right now. Quote
wayne Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 The actual climbing really had begun. F'n scary! Quote
layton Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 You're in for a pleasant surprise on the Hozemonster! Wayne and I did indeed leave the car. Quote
G-spotter Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Wayne got a devils club spine in his pinky and they had to retreat to Bellingham for Band-aids and a good cry. Quote
EWolfe Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Props, John. It's avbout time you got some recognition for your efforts...beyond the PNW, I mean. Geez, I can't believe you fooz actually tried that monster... Quote
Kat_Roslyn Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 John, I am so excited to hear of your talent and determination so deservedly recognized and what an honor to go to such a nice man. -Kat Quote
G-spotter Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 You know now that some Russian dudes are going to show up and seige the face and base jump off the top, right? Quote
TrogdortheBurninator Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 It is a cool piece. Some gorgeous photos in the issue. Quote
dberdinka Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 (edited) Just checked it out at the local magazine shop. Beautiful full page photos..couldn't bring myself to shell $13 out for Alpinist though.... Nice work John! Edited September 3, 2007 by dberdinka Quote
Couloir Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 I went ahead and shelled it out. Nice work John! Quote
Spencer Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Very cool! it always has amazed me how people make a guy who hits a ball into a hole a national hero, but real athletes go relativly unoticed. Congrats Again! Quote
