G-spotter Posted January 21, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlpineK Posted January 21, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Posted January 21, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete_H Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Interesting that they did it as a summer rockclimb as subsequent ascents were earlier in mixed / winter conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billcoe Posted January 21, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
