Avalanche_Lilly Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Hey, holmes. Todd Eddie, Brad Farra, and I are giving a presentation on our August 2013 East Ridge of the Devil's Thumb climb in the Stikine Ice Cap, Alaska. The presentation is at 7 PM on January 22 at the Mazamas Mountaineering Center ( 527 SE 43rd Av) in Portland. Here's a sneak peek: [video:vimeo]83999858 Would love to see some of you there!!
JasonG Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 So, maybe this will give it away, but did you make it??!! I won't make the presentation, unfortunately. That mountain is incredible and it looks like you had some good weather. According to this, it sounds like no woman had ever gotten to the tippy top (before this summer?): http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/11917-devils-thumb-via-the-east-ridge-mark-smiley
Avalanche_Lilly Posted January 15, 2014 Author Posted January 15, 2014 Yes, we did make the summit! Climb was 18 hrs tent to tent. Funny, when we did come down Dieter Klaus congratulated me on being the first woman to reach the actual summit, but further internet research revealed I was merely the third. Still, I'll take it! I think Todd was the first vegan on the summit hahaha.
dougd Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 I'm bummed I'll miss this one too! No chance to move it to super bowl weekend probably… d
JasonG Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Excellent! After the show, could you write up a TR? Would love to hear the story.
Avalanche_Lilly Posted January 17, 2014 Author Posted January 17, 2014 Most certainly! Only because you asked so nicely.
