oopsDamn, that is a huge fall. Hope you're not really injured, which is a miracle considering the description!

Re: oopsHey Peter, yes it was a miracle I missed everything, the advantage of climbing steep ground (as well as being a lucky bastard). I do have a bad case of Bursitis developing in my right elbow though (just too much damn climbing)hopefully get it drained tomorrow and be in shape for our rock climbing escapades....did The Tower today (what we tried to ski up) with Steve and Jackie....fun times

Congrats?!?!?!?!?!?Just saw a cleaned up photo just like yours in climbing magazine issue #252 page 43. Not sure if that's how I would want to get publicity in Climbing magazine, but Congrats anyway. As if you didn't have a big enough fan club on summitpost already (me included). Cheers.
Darin.

Re: Question...Chief, quit the charades...we all know you don't climb...you are sparying on SP everyday, mid day...its recorded for gods sake....you are only pissed off at me because I call you out for what you are, a huge "blowhard"...that is when you are not carrying out your CIA orders, shoveling snow or playing with your dog...I imagine you are a blowhard then too though...

Re: Question...sure...if "your friend" (how many personalities do you have Chief?) is a guide as you say, then he would know that climbing below a sizable roof would obstruct any vision of what is above. The serious move required to overcome the roof, via either side, was committal. Even then, I could not see into the right facing corner until I gained more ground and was now quite far removed of my last protectable opportunity in the crack below the roof...I should have turned the roof to the left..that is the route. I don't know anyone who climbs as much as I do who does not make route finding errors in the Canadian Rockies...probably why a disproportional share of climbers from your neck of the woods get in trouble up here. It is wild and wooly country.
