A good buddy of mine did a first ascent on AP4 thats unreapeted (american Ridge) twenty something years ago. Pretty sure the homo is the one spraying about his 451st ascent of the Cassin.

Ulvetanna looks like this:
And Rondespire looks like this:
There are two books by the Norwegians, called Antarctica - The Ronde Spire (1997) and Queen Maud Land - Antarctica (1994). I just recieved the books and they are both stunning! More pics of Ulvetanna can also be found on the site of Norwegian expedition http://mail.fredensborg.no/ulvetanna06/bilder.aspx

On the lower part the Thuderbird couloir has sixty degrees on ice and on the upper part you'll have sections of UIAA 6 on rock. Doesn't sound like a "snow slog" to me (as dingus suggested).
Does nobody read what Dingus is saying? I might be wrong too, but I thought dingus said that there was a mile of snow shoveling. He didn't imply the entire route was snow shoveling, but that there was still a MILE of it

the fact that only two climbs in the canadian rockies have been mentioned but not added to the list proves that you're all huge retards.

It was all tongue in cheek but the Wannabe Twight Hardboyz NEVER GOT IT.
Ever.
They were were too busy practicing scowls in the mirror and spitting out the word 'poser' ad naseum.
Pitiful really.
But yeah, the FA team did a lot of snow shoveling.

But that should not kill anyone’s dream. If you got the right attitude and are willing to travel a lot there’s no problem. I will try three of the routes on the original list next year (Matterhorn, Ama Dablam and Cholatse) and post trip reports here. Until then keep the routes coming. I’m interested in hearing about quality routes in Peru (ice, mixed or alpine big wall). Cheers! One more for the list: -Siula Grande
touching the void
or avoiding the touch???
