The West Face of Liberty Cap in a day
Did you mean the southwest face harding route?

Man, You guys should repeat the Scarface.  Tons of cracks for both of you to fire off and easy aid on the other stuff.  In a day no problemlemo with Strong Roger.

I just want to rehab my A2 pulley.  Maybe get out and start a big proj somewhere...

I know what is at the end of that canoe ride. He needs Mucci or Cobbles for that.

There are no cement er, cobble shoes involved.

Doesn't have to be just Pinnacles. I want to hear about them!!!

Balconies Regular Route
Prairie Home Companion  
Nexus
Son of Dawn
Icarus


Galactic Hitchhiker
Regular Northwest Face
Excalibur
Bulging Puke???

Balloon Dome (if I can find anyone who will go)


Nice topic, Aaron. I would do Nexus and Son of Dawn with you. I've been on the former once and a loose knob blew my onsight attempt... I've only done the first pitch of the latter but would be up for the whole thing if you're game.

Otherwise, for objectives: nothing too concrete. I'd like to finish setting the first pitch of Full Circle with Brad, set at least a new line with Kyle, and see what else inspires me. I've wanted to do Resurrection Wall, some of the harder stuff on Citadel, and Bolt It And They Will Come for some time and hope to finally get on those.

Yep, that's the one. It's a route that's been on my list for a long time.

That'd be pretty damn impressive!

You still living in Bishop (which would certainly put you in the right place to hit that goal)?

And photos. We're gonna want to see photos.

I've been up two so far this year, Mt Whitney and Mt. Tom. I'm figuring that there are some ways to get in 10-15 in a day so summer should be the catchup time. For now I take the Mr Mud approach and am riding my bike like a madman.

Assuming that we can snark at each other on one thread and talk on another, was your winter ascent of Whitney very wintery?

And Mount Tom? I've always been fascinated by it's north ridge; what six miles long and seven thousand feet of elevation gain? I'd love to hike that some day. Which way did you get to the summit?

98 more to go is still a lot - don't pull a Mr Mud approach to mountain biking and end up in surgery like he did!  ;)

Aaron, I'm gonna climb Sunday. Valentine's Day I'll be with Martha who is recovering from her foot hardware removal nicely.

Hugs and kisses to all you tomorrow.

Clink, Munge, you guys have a canoe?  I've got a line in mind at Courtright, but I need a boat.  Let's talk.

While I don't have an official list, there are climbs that have been in the back of my head for a while.  Got to knock one off yesterday:  First Sister Left Route.

Also got to re-lead my first ever lead of three years ago:  Sinbad from the chimney.

Super fun baby steps...   ;)
