Mt. Alberta NF goes *almost* free

So when he says the face has never been freed and never been done in a single push he means just that route, because there's the Brazeau/Walsh which was done entirely free a couple years ago in the same time car to car?

That's cool. Nice pictures on the link too.

His description matches the description of the standard N Face route.

i take it to mean the Lowe/Glidden route; AFAIK Jay is friends with JR and Chris so he knows about that one and everyone knows about the House/Anderson line.

 

Dana also wanted to free it without drytooling because he likes rock climbing just that much.

The guy does in fact say "route" not "face".

maybe I just misread it this morning.
