G-spotter Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 BB finally scanned all his shots from the N Pillar of North Twin and put them on his website I remember seeing this as a slideshow 10 yrs ago at the ViMFF but it looked like he's scanned some pics that weren't quite good enough for the slideshow too http://www.barryblanchard.ca/northtwin Quote
AlpineK Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I remember seeing the picture of Dave Cheesmond in the low dihedral. I think it was from the original AAJ report, but that's about it. Those photos are rad Quote
Julian Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Just amazing. What a route, what a location, what commitment. An all-time great line put up by two of the all-time great alpinists. Quote
Dane Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Thanks for the link. Awe inspiring on all accounts...their effort on NT leaves me seachless. you gotta check out the Robson video as well. Quote
Pete_H Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Interesting that they did it as a summer rockclimb as subsequent ascents were earlier in mixed / winter conditions. Quote
billcoe Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Awesome. Thats out there. How about "the start of day 2" picture where he's cramponing up snow and the rope looks poised to soon hit that loose looking block. Quote
Peakpimp Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 That was totally awesome! I can't wait for alpine rock season! Quote
davidk Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 wow, what a climb. And some absolutely incredible images! Thanks for sharing the link. Quote
