shortstow Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 guess that answers my question on the other page Quote
billbob Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 Ivan, thanks for your patience and help. I'm casting the blame for my slowness on the heavy boots. Yeah, that's it, not my lack of fitness! Quote
justinp Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Nice boys! This adds a little enjoyment as I sit here cramming for a finial… Quote
pc313 Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Its looking Better,But i was on Adams friday night! Nice pics. Quote
el jefe Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 nice work guys. looks like ivan came up with a new plan after all -- i.e., climbing hood on a sunny day seems so much more logical to me somehow... Quote
jbyers Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Beautiful photos and climb. Looks like this storm is set to change conditions a bit though... Quote
Frikadeller Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Whats going on with the rope in this picture? Or is someone down the gully there contemplating something? Quote
ivan Posted December 14, 2008 Author Posted December 14, 2008 Whats going on with the rope in this picture? bill savored his blessings and stayed put where he was on the summit ridge - i used the toys'r'us rope to have him belay me through that one vaguely sketchy part, then walked over to the summit - no need for the rope on the way back Quote
billbob Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Yeah, was hard not to hurl watching you walk the walk. Found it easier to not watch the return trip, too busy looking for my testicles. Quote
Alewarrior Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 I like the photo of the fella standing on the Hot Rocks. It is amazing how in a photo It looks like the Old Chute is not very steep at all. Having Been Up the old chute and Across the summit ridge last spring, I know it is Pretty steep, and the ridge is "Bracing". Nice photos, Thanks Ivan. Quote
ivan Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 1/26/14 my how old age axes all i dreamt in winter white while youth went astray timberline at dawn quiet soft crunch of crampons a hill without end blood red crescent moon our friends as quick die away life so short like rain summit before noon bad icy beer breakfast there down we rage in glee Quote
