In reply to: Kudos to grant for leading the whole thing. I would have lead had he asked, but instead ended up porting his backback and heavy as hell hiking boots up the entire thing. Over all an excellent route. A bit chossy to start but definitely a classic route beyond that. Has a little bit of everything, chimneys, laybacks, jam cracks, face moves, exposure and amazing views. The hut has one excellent s---.
David the yak.
good route!!

In reply to: Grant, looks yummy. Not sure how Nathan feels about alpine stuff, but I think I could turn him around :twisted: . Heck, he may even have to break out the hexes once we get out there :shock:.

And David, you're a fine one to talk of heavy as hell hiking boots. At least my boots were light alpine boots. Marge - let me tell you, I heard a pack rat planning to steal one of David's boots to use as a heavy duty bobsled for the family :tinfoilhat: Talk about a big boot to fill. :twisted:
You might be a Brent_E if you've found some way to stop a Chossmonkey from posting flames. :?:

They might be big, but they are not heavy! I am having a hell of a time replacing them. I can't find a pair of boots as comfortable in the weight range. And that family of packrats... they were hanging around while you did the rappel off the diagonal break. We thought that it would try to get some rope nibbles in while we were on rappel.

Huh. I don't think Nathan has a very good maniacal laugh, but you never know.
He'll at least reply to posts in this thread in such a manner to simply increase his post count though :wink: .

You know, Rebecca WILL make a full and speedy recovery. You know how I know? Simply this.... to send this thread into another thirty odd pages, we need Granite_grrl's help.
You might be a Brent_E if you need a Granite_grrl to flame you for another 30 pages..... :(
All the best lass. :righton:
