That's what I call stemming!Nice shot & very nice lead. You could practically sit on those ice bulges for a belay stance! How is it, though, that a 2-pitch route is a grade IV? Seems like that would make something like Widow's Tears or Bridalveil Falls Grade VI or VII- El Cap or Baffin Island!

Re: That's what I call stemming!Will let you take that up with Joe Josephson, author of “Waterfall Ice, Climbs in the Canadian Rockies”. Well known and respected guide book author regarding waterfall ice on both sides of the border. I just climb the stuff. Cheers.

Re: That's what I call stemming!Just talked with Joey. Good man & excellent ice climber. He said he mistyped after a late night completing that section of the guide- something about staying up too late & too many Beavertail Raspberry Ales ;)

Re: That's what I call stemming!you sound like old bed fellows....I like Raspberry Ale as well, but try to keep a low profile on that one....I believe he does a better job than most, sober or not...cheers

Re: Wow!Actually Radek, this pitch is considered WI 4+, the next pitch pitch is what makes this route a WI 6. Climbing in St. George as I type, Stacy and I are out every day. Just got back from a 5.10b fest at Black Rocks. Cheers.

Re: Wow!Just got off a fun trad route in Snow Canyon with "gramps" on SP(really a young man from Salt Lake). This "Plans and Partners" thing actually works. Your computer guy slamming his head against his keyboard is quite the description of your pain.....escape Radek!

LynetteLynette is styling as usual, she is an SP star. Just did the climb (I led first pitch, Hedd-wyn gunned the dead vertical pillar) on Saturday, what a wild piece of ice!

Re: LynetteLynette sounds like a serious ropegun - nice shot of her here. Good to hang out with ya dude :)

Re: LynetteLynette is one of the best young female climbers in the biz and one of the best all around technique climbers I have ever been around. Unfortuantly she hurt her knee on this climb, Whitemans, and has not been on ice since. I look forward to getting her down to Zion for some sun healing. I know it is working on my back. That is why Beckey hangs out here no doubt. Peter, JC and Adam are coming down here in April, you ought to see about hitching a ride if you can get away. Cheers.
