Kraken Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Rumor has it (from reliable sources) someone just soloed the Bibler/Klewin (Moonflower) on the North Buttress of Mount Hunter. I can say no more, other than that from what I heard...said person free-soloed all but 2.5 pitches and got to within several hundred feet of the summit. Wow. Speculate away. Quote
kurthicks Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Colin is up at 14k on Denali, so it couldn't have been him if it happened in the last few days. The weather has been pretty bad above 14k lately, but the snow conditions around base camp are actually pretty good. Quote
Pete_H Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Truth is Helmstadler climbed it and skied it solo. Quote
John Frieh Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Jason is correct on the person but it wasn't Moonflower. Quote
ZimZam Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Not the Bibler/Klewin route. His style and the route though...most impressive. He can tell it when he comes out. Nice work. On a separate note: the winds at 17K have been blowing a consistent 30-40mph for days now, and been dumping snow. Not much movement going on. Quote
