Hey Paul,

I knew you rapped because I saw the photos when I enjoyed the rest of your photo album that had the N Couloir pics

Ah, okay. I thought only those two photos were public...now I know better and changed the links
Hope you got a kick out of those odd captions for non-climbers

Ya wanna join me for a run up the two Couloir's on NP????

U mind doing it again next weekend? The group trip to NP got called off becuz the "leader" said the conditions are not good. I already asked for the freaking weekend off and need to climb something!

Don't leave us hanging...what'd they say about the conditions?

For those who are interested, the following are pictures of the V-Notch & U-Notch as of Labor Day Weekend:



Note the happy ice at the top and bottom 3rd of the V-Notch Couloir, and the passable bergschrund for the U-Notch Couloir.

Also, climbing the North Couloir of Thunderbolt Peak Labor Day Weekend:

Red Slate N couloir from the summit of Laurel yesterday -



Looks a little melted out about 2/3rds of the way up

Full-size image here.

Looks like some steep ice at the bottom of the U-Notch!

Looking down at the icy stuff on the U-notch from Polemonium's summit (9-20-09)


Full scale photo available here:

There's lots of loose scree at the top of the U-notch that can get knocked down by the climber's boots, rope, etc.
So please be careful if there's already another party on the route
