JayB Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Already used up your vote, but think that there are other Great TR's that other people might want to vote for, that deserve honorable mention, etc? Post them on this thread. Quote
olyclimber Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) I'm not sure which I'm voting for but I'm going to put my ideas here: RIP Joe. We were very lucky to have had this guy posting on CC.com, and this is one of my all time favorite TRs for sure: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=793792 and this one goes with it: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/659457/TR_Utah_Desert_Tower_Tour_3_20#Post659457 Colin getting after it down in Patagucci: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/636235/TR_Cerro_Torre_1_5_2007#Post636235 Rat and teh Big Baller finish the job on Mox: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/836613/TR_Lemolo_Peak_erstwhile_Harde#Post836613 I have not seen a more gripping epic than Amar's Rainier TR: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=796245 Ross turning your iceclimb into a ski area: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/557446/TR_Dragontail_TC_ski_descent_4#Post557446 looking for that Unkle Tricky TR where he climbs with someone he met in the partners section....was it up at Squamish?

telemarker Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 Sometimes, great tr's don't involve summits and perfect splitters, but cfire's tr will split your sides! http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/654415/4 Quote
xhen Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 I'll never forget hearing about this storying, and after returning from climbing at Vantage, scouring the boards for the tale: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/817824/Re_Biggest_surprise_on_a_route#Post817824 And this one goes to show even a TR of the "dog route" can be great: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=953285 Quote
JayB Posted April 6, 2011 Author Posted April 6, 2011 http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/627575/1 Wayne's TR from his solo ascent of Mongo Ridge. "Wayne112.August.06" Quote
Bronco Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/627575/1 Wayne's TR from his solo ascent of Mongo Ridge. "Wayne112.August.06" Sick-point-sick on the sickter scale. Quote
Friedrich Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Here's some other good ones: An amazing FA in Alaska New route on Fitzroy WOW Great Bugaboo TR with an accidental variation that actually improves the Becky-Chouinard route. Fun TR about bouncing around the swiss/italian alps with friends Great TR of Liberty Ridge with pics and video New Route TR -most details are in the comments but great FA Great shots from the birthplace of alpine climbing, Chamonix Sunniest TR induces much envy It's impossible to have too many Bugaboo TR's. Here's another. Quote
YocumRidge Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Here is my two favorites for nomination. Doug and Veronika, - for the original concept: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=993039 Buckaroo, - for the boldness of solo objective and the modern era Dostoeyvsky' prose: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=905729 Quote
jordansahls Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 This is the problem with the best TR contest, I keep finding TR's that are absolutely awesome, this for example: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=943353 Quote
olyclimber Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Agree, there are so many good ones its really hard to pick one. For now just list them in this thread! We'll figure it out all later...maybe we can make a list of top 50 threads and feature a page on them so they are easier to find and go back to.... Quote
JayB Posted April 12, 2011 Author Posted April 12, 2011 Hard to pick from so many classics in Ivan's Collected Works, but his anthology is definitely worth perusing for the writing alone: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/users/1787/ivan Quote
JasonG Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 I like this one: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=486123 Because, as someone with a job, house, wife, and two young kiddos, it gives me hope that there will be still adventure in my "mature" years. Donn, you the man! Quote
Le Piston Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 I agree...as a fellow working dad old fart, great TR and inspiration (I'm planning on a Picket's adventure this summer!) Quote
Buckaroo Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Mitochondria100 with 2 friends, hanging it out on Mt Borah in Idaho something nice and different within a days driving range http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=982758 Steph Abegg big time peak bagging in the Canada Rockies http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=975651 JoshK and Wayne's 1st Complete Northern Pickets Traverse http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=476685 Colin and Mark's Index Traverse in Winter http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/643839/1 Quote
Blake Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Almost any of Darin's trips, but his adventures in the Pasayten Wilderness was an inspirational favorite: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=379431 Quote
AlpineK Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Muir hut? It isn't listed as a TR, but it has some important elements of a climbing trip where multiple groups with different interests interact. http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/863730/1 Quote
CascadeClimber Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Yeah, "Muir on Saturday" has to be in there. As does Layton's TR told from the perspective of his Own Personal Mr. Hankey. On the serious side, Fern put up a compelling bit of prose about getting caught in an avalanche. Quote
scot'teryx Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Muir on Saturday should at least get Honorable Mention! No one else has mentioned "Learn to climb slab with experienced instructors" http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/673471/1 Quote
AllYouCanEat Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 This is the problem with the best TR contest, I keep finding TR's that are absolutely awesome, this for example: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=943353 That was an amazing trip. Here's the rest of the story: Picket's Traverse, which I never got around to posting. Reading all of these TR's is really making me want to get outside! Quote
sepultura Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Trent's epic quest of the Repulsive 69 is classic stuff..... http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=824825 Quote
