rmncwrtr Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) The injured climber is a friend of mine, a great climber and all-around awesome guy who has gone above and beyond for me over the last year. Please send him your + thoughts/vibes/prayers for a speedy and full recovery. Thanks! Edited January 19, 2009 by rmncwrtr Quote
jclements Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 I made an attempt on the SS early Sunday - winds were brutal and relentless. I was getting pushed around with gusts. Turned back around 9700 just below Crater rock after a party of three were coming down after turning back just below the Hogsback, said ice was flying around. Had already passed up another two coming down. The fields were just full of those nasty ice gargoyles or whatever they're called. I was alone and didn't want to chance the exit of the Old Chute to the narrow summit ridge with these winds. That, and over a year away from climbing and my conditioning was lacking. Did anyone make it up on Sunday? nice pics sweatin. looks like Saturday was the place to be... glad you guys made it out okay ivan, remember reading you were making an attempt N side. Hope that dude recovers soon. I'm definitely a noob on this mountain but it seems like they were headed up kinda late...? Quote
