I just love ready your old trip reports, very detailed, great pics. You must still have a lifetime of them in your head or written down somewhere. . we want more!
I hardly climb anymore unfortunately, two shoulders that dislocate at the wrong times and new interests in other sports. But I still love to backpack, does that count?
Of course it counts. I hike all the time. I have one bad knee and one shoulder that dislocates. I pulled a 5.8, a 5.9 and a 10a, all on TR, after three years of not being able to touch a rock. I am encouraged.
It's great to read TRs that aren't from this past week, moth or year. It's always wonderful to see what people were climbing two years before I was born. Anyway, thanks for the great read and sharing a great climb with us!
Ok...so...I guess many people would ask (after reading this TR and the many near misses) why the HECK you still do this sort of stuff...maybe the base camp parties? :)
Anyway, great TR...pictures are what I love most with explanations of what they are and how they fit in. I agree...more please?
I couldn't do any of the climbing, but I'd have a good excuse. The views would have me laughing uncontrollably. Great climbing, reporting, and photography.
great trip report...truly inspriing, both the adventure climb on reality ridge and the underwear burning and boozing party at base camp. I think if I had a trip like this it would be up there in the greatest days of my life.

ThanksI have an old climbing diary and a new Nikon slide scanner. I figure that I should put both to use since the slides are deteriorating.

Re: I enjoyed this TR a lot!Another year and most of my photos would qualify for inclusion in the "Vintage Mountaineering" album.

Re: WOOOOThanks! Why? Youthful enthusiasm is all I can say... Mature judgement has me avoiding such activities anymore.
