G-spotter Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 When I went I mostly did mountaineering but I did do at least 5 days of each of the listed options. Quote

AlpineK Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 I'll bite.  In 1986 I spent most of the summer climbing. I drove by myself to the Climbers Ranch at the Grand. While there I met this dude and we climbed the following things in Wyoming  Grand Teton, Direct Exum Ridge Pingora, Northeast Face Wolf's Head, East Ridge.  We then got bored with Wyoming and drove to Canada where we climbed:  Bugaboo Spire, East Ridge South Howser Tower, West Buttress  Then solo climbed Sir Donald.  From there we drove to Edith Cavell.  In a 4 day push we:  Climbed the North Face of Edith Cavell followed by a day of rest then hiked into the base of the Wishbone Arete. The forth day we summitted Robson via the Wishbone. The weather at the time scared us, so we hightailed it off the mountain.  After that I had a few days left before college started. I could have kept going, but that was the end of that trip.  I don't think I'll ever top that string. Quote
wfinley Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 What an awesome trip Feck! Â My favorite trip was 2 1/2 months of bumming from AK to WY and back. We started with 30 days in the Alaska Range (15 days in the Ruth, 15 days on the West Butt), then a month in Canada (Edith Cavell, Andromeda, Columbia, Pigeon Spire, Bugagboo Spire and cragging on the rest days). We then went to the Tetons for 2 weeks where I hauled my 13 year old nephew up Teewinott, Guides Wall, the Cube and the Owen Spalding route. I had previously arranged to meet other friends from various places and with good friends climbed the Direct Exum, CMC route on Moran and Symmetry Spire. It was an awesome summer spent in amazing places with wonderful people. Quote
AlpineK Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Nice. I always wanted to climb Columbia, but I never got there. Either ski the east side or climb the North Ridge/Face. Quote
