John_Roper Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Historic work, Rolf and Eric! The Beast has been tamed. And Lemolo Mox has a nice ring to it. How about drawing your line for us on this ground-level photo, please: http://www.rhinoclimbs.com/Images/MoxSE.07.03.78.9.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lunger Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 Thanks for the comments y'all. Rolf or I will put a line on John's picture; we do recommend the route, tons of good climbing on well-featured rock with the requisite dollop of alpine choss. 4 or 5 stars in our books. I got a couple reactions to the TR that prompt me to clarify: the bit I wrote about mutual disrespect, etc. is a (perhaps poor) satirical treatment of the caricature of Rolf by me and some of his friends. It's for my own entertainment--if you know him, you know he's a good dude, much like most folks around here, except perhaps with higher standards... and the ability to send the sickness when I pulled up lame. The abusive talk is in jest and adds levity when commiserating through a shiver-bivy or other setback. Enough of that. Lots of people getting cool stuff done in the Cascades this year--I'm stoked that we added a morsel to a productive season in the home range. Also happy to share any info. with future interested parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rat Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 i suspect there are quite a few people who post or lurk here that would enjoy this route and probably could do it in a very long day rt from camp. difficulties are concentrated in the middle third. the remainder has climbing up to 5.8 or so. we bivvied in the 3rd class terrain near the snowpatch shown on john roper's photo. this would just be a standard route in the canadian rockies. thanks to john roper and john scurlock for the photos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanstaafl Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 we share a vile and putrid love Dude, the love between Team A and Team B is clearly doomed, kind of like the Montagues and Capulets. I am, as always, in awe of you both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlpineK Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 They don't have devils club on the Alberta side of the Rockies. It can't stand the Albertans. And all the limestone is waiting to fall on anyone foolish enough to get close. Albertan or not. Nice route btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyHarry Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Eric (Lunger) went climbing three times this summer. Once he went to Index. The other time he did a first ascent on Tilly's Tower. And the third he climbed this. Something to be said for quality over quantity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayB Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Sick. Both parts of this duo consistently set the action/talk bar mighty high. Looking at the photos is a vivid reminder of how much credit the original crew deserves for pushing into the unknown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
