eldiente Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) We (Chris and myself) ran into a pair of climbers at the Tilly Jane cabin on Saturday night. I forgot your name, but we swapped a bit of notes before heading back down to the car. I was just curious to see how your climb went on Sunday, looked like you had good conditions for it.

WageSlave Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 It went well. Topped out in a whiteout and came down the SS. We'll get a TR up here sooner rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 nice - car shuttle sans snow-shoes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WageSlave Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Heh. Not quite. We were gonna go down Cooper Spur until weather rolled in and made that a dangerous proposition. Took a while to get a ride back up to our car at Cloud Cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WageSlave Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 No slow shoes for us, but our pre-climb whiskey and sleeping bags are still at Tilly Jane. If anyone wants to get them for us, they get the Jim Beam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Here's a few shots of the N side if anyone is interested in conditions. There is a lot of climbable ice up there right now. We took the left flow - the right flow looked a bit harder. There were other lines further up the spur of varying quality. The N Face looks awesome right now and should stay that way for a few more days depending on the weather. Someone should go get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
