Cpt.Caveman Posted December 17, 2002 Posted December 17, 2002 Read a chapter *Steve Swenson's* on Mark Kroese's book 50 climbs nobody will ever do in North America. Check it out Although I will never climb that peak the story kicks ass Quote
Dru Posted December 17, 2002 Posted December 17, 2002 You mean no one ever do that traverse Jim Nelson raves about I know the story you mean though. Good one! Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted December 17, 2002 Author Posted December 17, 2002 I mean no one person will every climb all 50 *rolleyes* I'd be surprised if someone hit 30 of em Quote
Dru Posted December 17, 2002 Posted December 17, 2002 That is good. Tick lists are for losers. I wonder who has done the most of them though? Maybe Jeff Lowe. I bet the Yosemite ones are the only ones in common, maybe and Grand Wall too. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted December 17, 2002 Author Posted December 17, 2002 I hear he can drink a fifth of whiskey and aid climb at the same time efficiently Quote

wayne Posted December 17, 2002 Posted December 17, 2002 What a great story! Thanks for bringing it to our attention. I would love to see that "sidewalk in the sky " too. Kit did some amazing stuff here, what else besides Selesse in winter did he do? Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted December 17, 2002 Author Posted December 17, 2002 Grith Pillar, Some Spire in wa pass, who knows.. Quote
mattp Posted December 17, 2002 Posted December 17, 2002 And didn't he have something to do with the pig? Quote
johnny_destiny Posted December 17, 2002 Posted December 17, 2002 Mr. Perkins, JD Is Kit the man so many years ago that would use his 357 Python to shoot slings off of the Lower Town Wall? Quote
mattp Posted December 17, 2002 Posted December 17, 2002 "Is Kit the man so many years ago that would use his 357 Python to shoot slings off of the Lower Town Wall?" Sounds like him. Quote
slaphappy Posted December 18, 2002 Posted December 18, 2002 Kit rates pretty high on my list as well. Word is he is starting to tie into the short end again. Hope it's not just a rumor, sure would like to do a few routes with him and share many a . Quote
Mr._Natural Posted December 18, 2002 Posted December 18, 2002 he got the fa chair nf. last time I saw him he was on a snowmachine in the icicle, ing Quote
Crackbolter Posted December 18, 2002 Posted December 18, 2002 Does Kit still rockclimb? I heard he tied in also last summer. If only he would hang out again. Maybe Dave B. could talk him into rallying with us next spring? Beers in Seattle maybe? Quote
crazyjizzy Posted December 19, 2002 Posted December 19, 2002 Capt, A better person to have as a hero would clearly be Darryl Hatton. He has done more rad routes than Kit, been deperted from the US, and fought Hells Angels to a draw. Quote
Downhill Posted December 29, 2002 Posted December 29, 2002 >Is Kit the man so many years ago that would use his 357 Python to shoot slings off of the Lower Town Wall? < I don't believe that he owned a python at the time that story originated - I think it was an M-1, a better option given the choice.
