B Deleted_Beck Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) Howdy How about a little friendly competition for this summer? See who's got the best time by September My best time, car-to-summit, from last year: 2:59 That was the Old Chute in soft summer snow. Gonna see what I can pull out of the Pearly Gates this Friday... I think I'll break 2:45 easy. But obviously haven't done it yet! Fast car-to-car times would also be interesting to see, though I won't be posting any numbers till when/if I get my splitboard system really dialed in.

B Deleted_Beck Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 3:35 today... not incredibly impressive. 2:45 was my goal, but sustained 25-30mph wind in your face, bottomless slush, and frequent barrages of wet ice will slow a guy down. Right around 5:30 car-to-car, which includes 45 minutes descending the North Face desperately trying to recover my fucking jacket. Jacket not recovered. Super bummed... man I loved that jacket. These times are sure certainly beatable... who's gonna do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Deleted_Beck Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 I have no doubt it's been done significantly faster than I'll ever do it- not claiming records here, just looking for a few guys to compete with this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't talk Anastasia into fetching it for me... She's really nice, but she has her limits... d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YocumRidge Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Sorry about the jacket, Ben. We did not come across any jackets or water bottles on the NF this Sun, but I did fetch a screw that was dropped from the summit ridge . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Deleted_Beck Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 Check out 17:00 in this OPB special on Hood http://watch.opb.org/video/2217365691/ Yea, I remember that. Boyer's is the fastest time I've ever heard claimed. Absolutely balls out tearing ass, what's the fastest you could get down, skiing directly off the summit? Maybe 6-7 minutes? That'd put him at 1:55-1:59ish ascent time, 1/3rd better than my fastest time, and I believe there are athletes out there that are 1/3rd better than me... so it's perfectly believable.
