Nice work guys. I'd be super curious to see what line on the above picture you climbed.

Here's Matt B.'s photo with the line we took in red.

thanks for coming up with a definitive answer on the line we took, will.

 

lot's more to do out there (obviously). i'm curious what other lines will someday be put up on this thing...

 

GET PSYCHED

I think you guys did the NW Face possibly? At any rate great effort! There is an overhanging finish at the top, and to the right, How did that look? Touching down?

wayne,

here's a crappy pic of Will's ass and the steepest northern aspect of Sloan ('at the top and to the right' from where we unroped after the first crux pitches). I looked over there and couldn't spot a continuous line through that part of the wall. The ice features seemed to dead end into formidable and sketchy looking dry tooling. Don't let this dissuade you though.. maybe with fatter conditions and/or some high end mixed skills.

Looks like the right hand face possibly got climbed recently, and finally! Kyle M. and partner?

(Scurlock, but you already knew that)

Sounds like someone made an attempt on Friday, hope to hear their story some time.

Its a good story to be sure.  One worthy of a cc trip report dare I say.

People need to dump FB/IG/TikTok/whatever and come back to the OG site for alpine bloviating!
