Alpinfox Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 On sighting the 10+/11- thin fingers splitter headwall pitch of the west face of NEWS during an October sunset with Mr. BobbyPeru providing the "attaboys" and "send it brahs" is probably my most satisfying pitch ever. Â The position is incredible, the light was gorgeous, the larches were golden, it was my hardest trad lead to date, we had climbed two spires earlier in the day, and I was stoked. Very very stoked. Â Â Thanks BP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinfox Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Â Also, watching Porter follow me up Princely Ambitions a couple weeks ago (his first time rock climbing again in about a year) was pretty sweet. It touched my heart and soul. And then Porter touched my special place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

layton Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Mine was my 1st first ascent pitch ever, and having done it again since, still stands as one of the best and most satisfying pitches I've ever done.

G-spotter Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Layton. Dude. Here's the deal about camera tilt: It doesn't make the climb any harder. It just makes you look like a goof, sort of like claiming that 5.6 you just climbed was a 5.10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I'm sure the people I'm belaying while snapping pics won't mind me getting out my level so it doesn't appear that I'm trying to make what they are following look any harder.
