Jens Posted June 20, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_White Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Hummingbird Ridge could be the crux of the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineK Posted June 20, 2011 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrogdortheBurninator Posted June 20, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Frieh Posted June 20, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Miller Posted June 20, 2011 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
