The Becky Chouinard route on the South Howser Tower - Pitch 17 (see trip report). The climb was awesome, the descent epic.

that's

the Beckey-Chouinard? Did you manage it in a day camp-to-camp? Great photo!

Re: that's

Yes, it's the Becky/chounard. We easily climbed it in a day, but had an epic on the descent (see my trip report)

Re: that's

Amazing story - thanks for the pointer, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. This climb is on my list, of course... the other reports I read also had epic rappels in the dark, but nothing as bad as what you experienced... either way, agreed, rappelling sucks!
