wfinley Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 Nice pix JK! When are you going to put that line up the N face of Peril? Quote
johnkelley Posted November 23, 2010 Author Posted November 23, 2010 Do you mean the east face? It's kinda got some strange history. Quote
wfinley Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 Yeah - East face. What's the strange history? Quote
johnkelley Posted November 24, 2010 Author Posted November 24, 2010 Some guy climbed it but later hung himself in the Anchorage jail. A few more pics Quote
wfinley Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 I knew that guy. Andy was a good climber (and person) when he was focused - but alcoholism took control when he wasn't. Where did you hear he climbed Peril's E. Face? Quote
johnkelley Posted November 27, 2010 Author Posted November 27, 2010 Evan and Richard both told me. Anyone want to check it out? Seattle to Anchorage adds only 3hrs to the approach. Quote
Dane Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 Some pretty cool stuff there John Gear is on the way back tomorrow. Quote
