wayne Posted December 30, 2006 Author Posted December 30, 2006 My pleasure. That what is so wrong with these winter shows. All fired up and nowhere to go. Now does last Augusts-Colin-show make sense? Quote
stamati Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Anyone know if this has seen another ascent? Quote
JasonG Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 The Pole of Remoteness is no joke. This summer I was marveling at how far back in there it is. Here I thought we were "committed" on the NF of Terror, then I looked over my shoulder at Mongo Ridge and laughed. Wayne set the bar! Quote
wayne Posted March 22, 2014 Author Posted March 22, 2014 There are parties interested in repeating it though. I have given several beer intensive beta sessions with young aspirants. Last summers weather would have been perfect for trying. I cant think of a funner route. Quote
stamati Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Yeah the weather last year was excellent and stable. Wish I felt ready for it last year! Maybe I can pick your brain about it at some point this year? Jason, it feels like every time I look at it it gets farther and farther away! No joke indeed! I was wondering about Goodell Creek.... Such an aesthetic approach on a map, but what kind of schwack would that entail? Quote
wayne Posted March 23, 2014 Author Posted March 23, 2014 Shwack? Mega. I have to say its not just the approach, you would still have to get down too. Easiest way down is back to the East Fury and then Access Creek. re: Goodell: There is an extra cliff band guarding the start down there too, The Beckey Guide photo also points out a waterfall. The "direct start" would add another 500+ feet on to an already large task. Quote
JasonG Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Fury is the center of the bushwhacking universe. I think Wayne settled on the only semi reasonable way to access Mongo. Quote
kmfoerster Posted July 9, 2021 Posted July 9, 2021 I think a certain couple got the second ascent of this recently… Quote
wayne Posted July 9, 2021 Author Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) Yes, they should have a report up soon! The only caveat is they did not summit the pole of remoteness but they are the first people to do the whole ridge in one day! Cheers to the conquerors! Edited July 10, 2021 by wayne 1 Quote
