t_rutl Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 not only does he solo the route but performs an impromptu rescue/assist... from BD's site: I topped out at about noon, and made quick work of the descent—on schedule for an afternoon return to El Chalten and a nice, relaxing day in total... However, at the notch at the top of the couloir I found an inexperienced climber, by himself, who was very confused as to the whereabouts of his partner and did not have means to descend— considering that he had with him only two carabiners, a belay device, a single 50m rope but no hardware whatsoever. After a lot of shenanigans looking for his missing partner, we rappelled the couloir together and began the hike out. His missing partner was soon found, and no harm done except that I ate dinner much later than I had planned! —Colin Haley now that's badass!! Quote
tazz Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 Holy SHIAT! My stomach is still in my throat! That was AWESOME! Quote
