please don't throw any batteries at me...

anyone got a good photo of the nipple pitch on the zode?

[archenemy]

I won't. Just don't open any emails from anyone you don't know. Just saying.

oh, and in terms of an educated guess, if it was the 7th ascent in 98, it couldn't be Mescalito, and I wouldn't think it was either the original Wall of the Early Morning Light or Space. You haven't shown signs of being enough of an aid obsessive for it to be Reticent Wall. Hockey Night in Canada maybe?

 

 

a), b), c) and or d). why wouldn't you think what?

 

nothing is what it seems.

 

Maybe my reasoning is wrong, like I say, I'm not a wall guy. but here's what passes for thought..

 

a)Mescalito - While it would seem to be the pick hit in that region of the big stone, it must have had more than 7 ascents by 1998, since at that time it was already 25 years old. Still, your position most suggests that route.

 

b)Wall of the Early Morning Light - Bottom part is supposed to be sort of "ehhh" and the position doesn't seem quite right. Historic, but not sexy.

 

c)Space - not really sure where it goes, but it doesn't get much press. On the otherhand, I'd believe it hadn't had a seventh ascent until 98.

 

d)Reticent Wall - kind of a hardman route, I'd think you'd have shown more wall spray here if that was your cup of tea.

 

Hockey Night? It's a Mescalito variant, isn't it? Odd enough to not get a 7th until 98? Yah, well, what do I know. You can wait until someone names it with confidence, then tell me where my guesses go wrong.

 

Nice pic though, I've always loved those angles.

The route is, in fact, Space. The climbers are Larry and Andrew.

 

Pink is Andrew? I thought Andrew was in Colorado. Still have that van?

Rob, you could have posted up days ago and saved us all this.

[rbw1966]

Negative. I worked used to work at the bagdad with Larry and Mark. We climbed together a few times at Beacon. I hooked you up with a lot of the iron you used on Space.

cheers,

andrew

[rbw1966]

You're right, Andrew--I got the iron from my BD contact for the Baffin trip. Did you ever go? I haven't seen Larry or Mark in several years. Kind of hard to forget those Space pictures.

[kevbone]

Brad is planning to go back to Baffin ( I think ) next year. He is planning on another route on Asgard. I heard Tommy Caldwell is planning trying to free Brads route Midgard Serpent on Mt. Thor......wouldnt that be cool.

I tried to organize a trip to Baffin to get on Asgard in '76, but we didn't quite manage to pull it off. Good thing too, given coming from the hollers of Southern Illinois none of us had ever climbed on granite, done a wall, or anything taller the Yellow Spur for that matter. I was just in love with the idea of it being permanantly light while you were climbing. We were cluelessly ambitious and it would have been a real Beverly Hillbillies gone to Pangnirtung scene we probably wouldn't have survived.
