Ed, nice job. How long did it take you from car to summit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Hobbick Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 We were in no hurry. We just climbed slowly savoring every move and every ounce of sunshine the day had to offer. I really don't know what our car to car time was. We milked it for all it was worth. 12 hours maybe How about you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Hobbick Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Yes. I actually climbed the N.E. Buttress on December 7, 2009. I did not lead any of the pitches though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
