NICE!I see your CO trip was productive Jim!! Great looking climb - how did you like it?

Re: NICE!Thanks! Very cool climb - the final 3 pitches alone make it worth its classic status. We lucked out with being the only ones on the route, and we had perfect weather (no thunderstorms!). Highly recommended - lots of other good routes in the area. Didn't want to come home!

Re: NICE!Those ridge shots look pretty incredible. Also, can't believe you guys had it all to yourselves. On the flip side, we tried and tried to get on the Regular Rt of Fairview (another 50 Classic) and failed (party on top of a party - total cluster f...)
THink you need to camp out at the base for a couple of days waiting in line :(
What else did you guys hit in CO? WHere's H. off to - Devils Tower?

Re: NICE!Yes, cool shots!
Haydar and I were supposed to do a 5 day trip to the Pasayten Wilderness to climb the Southeast Buttress of Cathedral, the North Face of Amphiteather, and either the Ka-aba Buttress or the Middle Finger Buttress this weekend. Unfortuantely, I contracted a SEVERE case of poison ivy in Illinois and am covered and doped up on medication. A fitting end to a dissapointing year for me.

Re: NICE!Ouch! Sorry to hear that, Martin! Illinois sucks ... don't go there! Really sorry to hear that you won't be taking the Pasayten trip - I have been wanting to check that place out too. Hope you get better soon ...

Re: NICE!Wow, too bad about the Regular Rt. Maybe you need to pick a good weather day and start climbing in late afternoon?
I did just the Direct East Face on 1st Flatiron, and then Petit. We hiked to do Sharkstooth the next day but I bailed to catch a flight. Don't know where the man is now - I haven't heard from him! Lucky bastard :)

Re: NICE!...that's what we thought too.
First time, got to base of rock at 7am to find a party of 3 (leader stuck 20 ft up P1) and party of 4 waiting in line. Second try (different day), got there at 2pm to see 3 folks waiting for P1, party of 2 on P2, party of 3 on P3.
Heh, heh....cluster f..ing F..K!!
"Don't know where the man is now - I haven't heard from him! Lucky bastard :)"
Yeah - I'm jealous too :)

Re: NICE!Holy sh!t Martin!! What were you doing over there???!! I did not think they even HAD any sort of vegetation in IL other than co'n?
As for the season, I'm just waiting for the nice cragging season to begin :)
Take care Martin.
