Climbed the ridge with Vitaliy from our camp on the Palisade Glacier. All was going well until we reached the notch. From there we spent the rest of the day having routefinding issues, especially near the very end!
We bivvied at the top of the North Couloir and climbed the summit block the next day, descending Underhill Couloir. Lassoing it was VERY tricky!
Thunderbolt to Sill Traverse Date Climbed: Aug 8, 2009
Corey led it and set up a top rope for the rest of us. It was fun to top rope but I would have been pretty nervous to lead it. I hope to lead it after a few more years of climbing.
On the traverse starting at South Lake and exiting to Glacier Lodge with Tom Becht and Glenn Gookin. Glenn led the 30' route while I belayed him. The crux was getting onto the block. Glenn then belayed me and Tom.
