John Frieh Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Trip: Cody - Classics Date: 2/5/2011 Trip Report: Trip Report Summary: 2/4: PDX -> BIL 2/5: BIL -> Cody; Cabin Fever (1p) + Wyoming Wave (4p); Too Cold To Fire (2p) 2/6: All 6 pitches of Broken Hearts + Carotid Artery (1p) 2/7: Moratorium (2p); Cody -> BIL A little late on the TR but what can I say... I've been busy surfing. Good times with Zac, Michiel and Dave. All our crampons apparently dont fit because the link bar moves, at least 2 of us had down belay (or is it bivy?) jackets with removable hoods no less and I forgot my helmet... it's amazing we climbed anything at all! Our pathetic efforts in pictures :laf: Cabin Fever Somewhere along Wyoming Wave Too Cold To Fire Broken Hearts Dave earning his My Only Valentine merit badge (5th pitch of BH) Count the screws: Zac crusing the 5th pitch of Broken Hearts (My Only Valentine) Broken Hearts 6th pitch in fat conditions: legit WI5 Legit The Carotid Artery: does this thing ever touch down? If half of it falls down that means you have half of it left to climb Dealing with roofs: Crampon Fit or Core Strength? Moratorium Moratorium Second Pitch Gear Notes: Helmets work best when you dont leave them in PDX. Approach Notes: alaska air Quote
scottgg Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Nice John+Crew! Hope things stay nice and fat for another month! Quote
treknclime Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Way to put that stint in Carotid Artery, boys! And Moratorium...looks super cool. Well done, and thanks for the stoke! Quote
wayne Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) Forgotten helmet= I have to lead everything.Nice strategy. We had hemlets and look what happened to our heads. . Sick arterial send too. Nice running into you guys there. Edited February 18, 2011 by wayne1112 Quote
powderhound Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 sick! Did your head get a worse beating from the ice or from Shannon? Quote
eldiente Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 All our crampons apparently dont fit because the link bar moves, at least 2 of us had down belay (or is it bivy?) jackets with removable hoods no less and I forgot my helmet... hahah So funny.. My gear never works right and I'm too lazy/stupid to figure it out. Roofs and ice climbing?! That's messed up man, roofs are for pebble wrestlers. Taking skills learned while climbing on plastic to the outdoors is cheating. Quote
John Frieh Posted February 18, 2011 Author Posted February 18, 2011 Thanks all. Claiming all the leads because of my forgetfulness would have been lame. I did the old school Jack Tackle trick and wore extra hats. Quote
