Don't forget to sing the llama song once you reach the summit.

Hey, maybe we could have a Summitpost trip to Mt Sunflower and urge Rob onward!
Rob can of course pay for the bus.

Don't forget to use your four tool technique. Slow is Safe!

I've got four pieces ... I know that isn't quite enough ..

There is a 42 story building in Kansas City which is 651 feet above ground level. Would that not be the high point of Kansas. You could either walk up the stairs or climb it Robert Allain (Spiderman) style up the outside.

You'll need a llama costume, Lolli. There are many choices:

$179 to put a hat and sunglasses on that thing??????

As you can clearly see in this picture Ice axe and Crampons were required for this bear of a mountain. I was a little foolish and forgot my rope and pro. Luckily conditions were near perfect so I came out unscathed.

Too bad that the base of the building is only ~1000ft above sea level. It's sort of uphill toward the Rockies...

My father attempted a accent of the north east face of mt. sunflower in 1976. the expedition lasted 5 days, and as he was 100m from the summit he stepped in a gopher hole and broke his right leg(compound fracture)... they were attempting mt sunflower without oxygen. they almost left my father out there on his own cuz he could barley walk and they didnt want to stay in the death zone for to long... thankfully a fearless Sherpa saved his live...





i plan to attempt the same route once i have the money for the expedition fees

That is badass

We encourage climbers to hire local guides if you don't have sufficient experience with this peak.

Where has this thread been all my life? Can't wait to tackle the icy north face of mt. Hell sunflower

I just alpine climbed up 3 steps. That had snow on them!!! I hope that is good training for that death trap

I was worried about avy conditions so I went up them in an alpine style single push
