waterboy Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Epilogue: A talented up-and-coming climber once commented on a gumby "some people were meant to be astronomers; others astronauts". With this latest in a string of too-many failures, it may be time to sell the rack and buy some coffee table books with pictures of mountains. Nice Effort KKK, Keep in mind that Reggie Jackson had the most strikeouts of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a long time since we climbed together, waterboy. We miss you up here in the PNW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Thanks for the chuckle. And the reminder that clusterf**ks are not just some of my trips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longshanks Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) FYI, I did this route last thurs-fri. Great climbing. We started the route as per the red line here on KK's picture. After ascending the slabs we took a left-angling dihedral for an outstanding long 5.7 pitch to the ridge crest. If the slabs aren't dead easy, you're in the wrong place. The glacier travel was good fun. We had to cross several narrow snow bridges and do some face in climbing on steep slopes above gapers, but overall things seemed quite solid. I worried about falling. I never worried about a bridge collapsing. Edited September 4, 2012 by Longshanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
