Trip: Mooses Tooth - Yet another TR for H&E

 

Date: 5/9/2010

 

Trip Report:

Yet another H&E TR... but I live here so I can justify dealing with the :crazy: crowds.

Gear Notes:

1. Bring those stretchy things to clip onto the faster climbers.

2. Don't accept "tea" from descending Euros... chances are the "tea" is mostly liquor.

3. Canned beer will freeze in the Alaska Range.

 

Approach Notes:

A rough 200 yards from the LZ.

In other words you bought low alcohol piss water swill beer. Cans of Shapiro hold much better as they are slightly higher in alcohol. Plus they're bigger!!

 

Darn... I thought PNW climbers would approve of my beverage choice:

Thanks for all the compliments! ... one note:

 

 

It is great to see some logistics in Alaskan climbing.

 

Thanks to TAT and Puryear, logistics for the classic routes in the Ruth and Kahiltna are no longer a problem. I love scouring maps and exploring places no one goes to in Alaska - but it's a treat to thumb though Puryear's book and then just fly in and knock out a route or two.

Very cool vid to watch, thanks for putting that up. Stoked me to try again to get to the AK Range.

 

BTW...

...beer cans ain't just for piss beer anymore.

Suppose this would make the alpine start a little difficult, though. :)
