Sam Page Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Hello. I've seen numerous references to CascadeClimbers.com over the years, and finally got around to checking it out. It's a great website with a hyper-active forum. Perhaps the combination of weather and coffee in the PNW is conducive to hyper-active posting. I look forward to aggravating my wife by browsing this forum regularly. Anyway, after being relieved of employment and finding myself home with two small children, I started a blog called The Mountaineering Review to keep my brain from turning to mush. Have a look!

montypiton Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Welcome, Sam. After reading your blog about the Mallory/Irvine mystery, I gotta ask: Are you sure you're not one of the Bard brothers?!? If Alan wasn't dead this many years, I'd swear he could have written it. Maybe you're channeling? At any rate, it was fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Page Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Thanks, montypiton! I'm pretty sure I'm not one of the Bard brothers, but I do recall when Alan Bard was killed guiding the Owen-Spaulding route on the Grand Teton. I've done that route twice. The first (normally) roped pitch involves a long, exposed traverse. A fall there could entail a long pendulum. Perhaps that is what happened. Anyway, now I'm curious: can you recommend something Alan Bard wrote? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
