plexus Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 there was some very steep climbing on somewhat soft snow (climbing was with shafts of axes, not picks, on sections of up to 70-75 degree steepness) Been there, done that...such a warm fuzzy feeling Where do I wire the money to buy the two guys a round ? I'm just wanting to get up the thing in the summertime . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plexus Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Will they have a spot for beginning ice-climbing gapers like myself and my fiancee at ice fest, like what Ouray does? If so maybe wwe will come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordop Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Man, that line looked SOFT last weekend. Guess I know who was driving that Mustang now. Another one of those lines I'm glad shaun did before I could try it as 75 degree sludge sounds lovely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texplorer Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 wrecker, Dru is a guidebook if you really must know. Dru, I read the bivouac.com story but do you have any knowledge of how hard the climbing was in places? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOU SOME SORT OF GUIDEBOOK OR WHAT??? I think there were at least 62 descents of that route over the Years. Including some Sakatchewan Rough Riders. Its pretty funny how Ray starts a new avatar, tells me the pword, I make one sarcastic post with it INCLUDING SOME FACTUAL INFORMATION namely that the remains of crashed Flight 810 (which had members of the Sasak. Roughriders football team on board) did tumble down this gully, and poor old avatar is banned!!!! No one ever called it free speech I guess. Since apparently an avatar can get deleted for innocuous self-slander like that I will say no more Apparently at least one other person got the joke judging by my PMs anyways.
