G-spotter Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 There is rather a lot missing north of the border... Certainly possible. I relied on the Beckey guides for that section (and NWMJ for more recent climbs). Where would you recommend looking for more information on winter climbs between the border and the Fraser River? Or can you provide more information directly? Even just using those sources you missed an awful lot, Lowell. Just two examples I noted quickly looking through the list: North Illusion, northeast buttress, winter ascent (Kay/Zozikyan 1986 or 1987?). Slesse SE couloir, first ascent, winter 2003, Neufeld/Isbell Both of those are in the latest red CAG. At first I though you'd skipped them for some criteria I just didn't understand, but now it seems like you just plain missed them. Quote
Lowell_Skoog Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Just two examples I noted quickly looking through the list: North Illusion, northeast buttress, winter ascent (Kay/Zozikyan 1986 or 1987?). Slesse SE couloir, first ascent, winter 2003, Neufeld/Isbell Thanks for those. I'll give the red CAG another look when I get home from family visits. (I'm in Minneapolis now.) I'm disappointed to have missed those but I'll say that the chronology was initially just a research aid for the essay. The decision to publish it as an appendix came later in the project. But, had I caught those routes, it would not have changed what I wrote in the essay. I'll go through the red CAG again and make sure I've got everything north of the border in the online chronology. Thanks. Quote

John_Scurlock Posted January 7, 2012 Author Posted January 7, 2012 you lads are very kind indeed...where would I be without my cc friends...?? that tv interview was interesting... strange to be in such an unfamiliar environment but also good to be surrounded by people who are obviously really good at what they do. I'm glad I was able to keep nervousness under control... Quote
j_b Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Finally, I got mine in the mail yesterday and it is even better than what I recalled. Lots of awesome pics to drool over (makes me reconsider my retirement from mixed climbing). Nice pic of Austin too! Quote
