Re: Commitment

Thanks buddy. Always appreciated. Yes, a very tough route. I can't remember when I got so slowed with fatigue despite trying to keep eating and drinking. Put it on your list. Camping along the river was great as well.

Cheers,
Augie

as usual. Iron is tough enough without finding harder ways up. Congrats!

Re: Great story

Thanks Tom. But I think tough is your kind of route.

Re: Nice

Thanks TDR. O.K. You can get the west ridge first. Right now, I'm not in a hurry to "up the ante."

Excellent writeup

Instead of doing another trip report, I'll just reference yours. Any more pics of the upper section? The gully and ridge to our right going up looked like Bighorn sheep could easily get themselves killed there.

Re: Excellent writeup

Thanks, Asher, and thanks for organizing and leading this adventure. I'll check my other pics but I think they're pretty much duplicates of what is in the TR.
