Excellent. I've only managed this peak once in my first go. It was an adventure and a fav if and when you forget about the approach! Ha. At least it is short and direct. I remember the avalanche debri...
Very cool. I really liked my ski trip up to that peak last April or so (can't remember offhand). I was also surprised how flat it was! But really cool area. Loved seeing the Eldorado Massif, Backbone...
I tried the traverse and failed due to terrible snow. The road issues are a pain for the exit, but I've got another idea! I still haven't gotten to s. twin!
Damn. That's rad. I only tried once in march and it was half hearted. Way to slay a very cool route. This and the Cryogenesis route are both burly. Glad you made it safe and wow...I used to have...
Tabski, Thanks! I was thinking about that angle for the story when I was walking around my house. I love backyard adventures when I can make them happen. You can't beat the cost/value ratio eithe...
Perfectly Sane, That's a great moniker. BTW, I think every adventure is perfectly sane on google earth ;) Too bad reality isn't so kind. I guess it helps the in story telling at least. Thank...
Nice TR Kyle...and pics Ben! It's always fun to trapeze around these out of the way peaks. BTW, for those that are interested in more, here's a story from my perspective that I put together...
Nice work Amar. Reminds me of our summer climb a few years ago. I was shocked how fun it was, even without skis. Babying my knee for the past few months is driving me nuts...although it's nice to...
Thanks Erik. I've had friends that use it. The camera would work well for longer trips where weight is an issue. I like my SLR for sure, but I've been tempted more and more by the lighter ge...
Running Clouds,Weight, mainly. I carry a lot of camera weight into the mountains. Think of it as being an extra pair of skis, boots and bindings. With a sony A7r I'd be able to cut the weight sig...
Well said Drew. The human condition with its fragile grasp on time and space, is ominous and inconsolable at times. I like to think that if I were a ghost I'd be attracted to these mountains, suc...
author=dwayne link=topic=31933.msg134376#msg134376 date=1403234797]Hey Jason,I bumped into you at Baker in the parking lot a few days before. You said you were going in the Blum side. Any reason you...
Glad everyone enjoyed. It was different to try and take photos and video. Usually the video was taken right after a photo, or in the case of skiing, it was when the light wasn't as good. In the e...
Great report Ben! Finally got the chance to read it all. Was super excited that you were able to join. Enjoyed your company and shredding with you. Those few days in Iceland were the best part of the...
Awesome adventure Kyle. Crazy times. Thanks for being a good sport and putting up with so much 'traversing'. It was an epic for sure. Loved that you put up with my route over the summit of f...
