pranaman Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Sunday July 10th, Feathered Friends, Seattle. 6pm. Mark and Janelle Smiley will be presenting a muti-media presentation on their goal of climbing the 50 classic climbs of North America. They have completed 29 thus far and have hopes of attempting 13 more this summer. Come check out this unique project and learn more about the 50 classics.
Jens Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 If I was in town, I'd hit this for sure. Definitely one of the more interesting sounding slideshows I've seen advertised in a while after a lot of yawners over the last few years.
Off_White Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Hummingbird Ridge could be the crux of the whole thing.
AlpineK Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Hummingbird Ridge could be the crux of the whole thing. Yep, I can see 48 but no 50. The standard Northcutt Carter Route on Hallett Peak is gone daddy gone too. I believe I've done 29. There are some cool ones!
TrogdortheBurninator Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Hummingbird Ridge could be the crux of the whole thing. Yep, I can see 48 but no 50. The standard Northcutt Carter Route on Hallett Peak is gone daddy gone too. I believe I've done 29. There are some cool ones! I think they actually did climb what's left of the NC on Hallet. Seemed like good style to me compared to climbing Culp-Bossier or something else on a totally different section of wall.
John Frieh Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Hummingbird Ridge could be the crux of the whole thing. If they get 50% of the their proposed agenda completed in 2012 I will be very impressed.
Dan_Miller Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 They may have to wait quite some time for the weather on Devils Thumb to cooperate. It doesn't see much summit traffic, even in these days of 'smash and grab'. And as others have mentioned Mount Logan's Hummingbird Ridge will be a real challenge as well. No question this is a very cool project for a couple to become interested in, Best of luck guys on those routes that remain to be done!
