OlegV Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 I will start the list: 1) The TFT. 2) The East Ridge of Forbidden(?). Quote
dberdinka Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Any North Face Route in the Pickets (a while back someone came close on the North Buttress of East Mcmillan). Any of the handful of Grade VI routes in the Cascades. 5,000 different great mixed and ice routes on the 5000' - 7000' peaks. Quote
John_Scurlock Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 5,000 different great mixed and ice routes on the 5000' - 7000' peaks. that's the gods truth believe me.. Quote
sepultura Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Also; Lincoln Peak(the Black Buttes) Agnes? Quote
Off_White Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 5,000 different great mixed and ice routes on the 5000' - 7000' peaks. that's the gods truth believe me.. You've done more to unveil those lines than anyone I know, thanks! Quote
G-spotter Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Any route that can be skied without rappels is not worthy of technical climbing - discuss. Quote
keenwesh Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Might as well be a lift to the top of chair peak, that N face is a mediocre black diamond after all. Quote

OlegV Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 Any route that can be skied without rappels is not worthy of technical climbing - discuss. Like this one: http://www.tetonat.com/2011/09/21/andreas-franssons-denali-south-face-ski-descent/ How steep is too steep for skiing in plastic (mountaineering) boots? Quote
OlegV Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 Bring Your Own Helicopter! ...or a Layka dog! Quote
JasonG Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Agnes? Shhhhhhhhhhhh......You don't want to make Tim mad, now do ya? Quote
sepultura Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I was thinking Jason, that if Tom goes and gets Lincoln, and Tim bags Agnes, then we can relax for the winter and ski fat pow! Quote
kevino Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 You guys are getting ahead of yourselves. Who is going to repeat this??? (thanks for the picture Mr. John Scurlock) Quote
mhux Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Yeah its awaiting a direct finish, if I'm not mistaken... Quote
mhux Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Pretty sure that's been ticked in the winter Quote
Phil K Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Pretty sure that's been ticked in the winter It seems that Colin's done it, maybe someone else, though I couldn't find a TR. Quote
OlegV Posted October 24, 2012 Author Posted October 24, 2012 The Pleiades - Mt. Larrabee - ABP- Canadian Border Peak Traverse Quote
Lowell_Skoog Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Not on this list: http://alpenglow.org/themes/ncascade-winter/chronology.html Quote
wayne Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Amazing list Lowell! Thanks The Cherry in the Cascades would be any of the North Faces in the Pickets. Quote
kevino Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Hi Lowell, Thanks for the list, but interestingly, no sherpa peak? Quote
JasonG Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 I knew Kit Lewis et al. were on a tear in the 80's, but man some of those routes..... Having just been benighted on it on month ago, I can't even imagine the west arete of Eldorado in the winter. Yikes! Thanks for the reminder of your ongoing list Lowell! Quote
genepires Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Not on this list: http://alpenglow.org/themes/ncascade-winter/chronology.html cool to see fred still doing first winter ascents in 1994! yeah it was some 18 years ago but he still was no spring chicken back then. not much action in the last two winters?
