gnarly man...wooohooo!

somebuddy needs to bitch slap this fool...

"This is a shout out to the loosers on Tangerine Trip: Yo, don't clog my route's dude, man, its just not cool, snaged circus ropes and no water I have no sympathy for. I'll dump water on your dehydrated ass and then drop the gear that landed on us after we pass you."

WTF...why be such an A-hole?

you call that Top-stepping? whatever...

Next time I am climbing in Canada I'll remember to toss some of my garbage off the cliffs for someoelse to clean up...

New Jersey Turnpike, if that is the footstool on the lower left.

Thanks, this one was a bit excesive. I had the Ledge fly attached due to thunderstorms. Also the Pig is docked on the last lead bolt of the previous pitch. The double length blue sling connects the pig locker to the main anchor powerpoint for a dynamic "pig belay." On most belays I just docked the pig straight to the power point with a munter mule, backed up of course.

The green rope coming from the power point is the end of my lead line. I tied into it before taking the photo because hanging on the haul line and pulley was spooky...

Anyone know what those bolts are for? The Hubers have installed some new anchors on variation free, pitches, but these are in the middle of a steep blank face. There are similar miystery sets of bolts on other pitches as well. SAR rap anchors maybe???

Thanks, The pitch starts out with 4 or 5 bolts off the belay before it really hits the crack at that Yellow TCU. I was refering to the big fat bolts at bottom center. You couldn't easily reach them from "on route, and I'm not sure why you'd want to. There are several of these stations along the route. Some are obviously the Hubers, but I'm pretty damn sure these arn't. Resuce anchors maybe? Anyway, they are kind of annoying and unsightly...

thanks for the tipism...

ziplines work, but zipping slows you down more than a heavy rack sometimes...

can I get your # ;-)

I fell right there...

I could be wrong, but this looks like the begining of P4 to me...just under the big roof down-traverse.

Regardless, cool photo, tom takes some great ones! Cheers

haha...nice! WTF...we were all smiling there??? Must have been the morning crap!

I love seans yamaka!

Nice photos smithclimber, thanks for posting them. I think this was the notorious "choss" pitch where we all got pissed at each other...or at least, more pissed at eachother than on the rest of the route! Nice job on that one, glad I didn't have to lead it!!

whats yer point?

why is this your project area?

that's a huge chunk of ice, he's one lucky dude, assuming he wasn't hurt

nice timing, two thumbs up

wow...that makes me cringe...

It's not as clusterfked as it looks, there is a method to it's madness.

Notice that we still have knee pads and gloves on, were just getting started gettin the shit together here...

no dude, he was about to push you off the ledge...:-)

It is the end of one of our lead lines. We had TWO GREEN Mamut Supersafes...talk about clusterbuck!!!

Eldo is cool, huge groups suck...nice shot.

Yikes dude! Was that with Matt Willis? And you climbed the Nose 3 days later!? You must be one pain tolerant mofo!

oopppss...yeha they are the Hubers bolts

uggghhhh....

this photo gives me the creeps...

sweet, my new wallpaper!

you got it next time ed...don't look back.

hmmm.....you'd think maybe you'd just pack all that stuff away so it wouldn't get wet and frozen...no?

wow

so people skip the starting moves? whats up with that?

the Gollum one is better.

wow, something about this photo makes K2 look small! nice one

the haul line I am rappeling is atached to the anchor via the haulbag backup knot.

gottcha bro!...oh sh't, uhhh DON'T gotcha bro!

This is p15, one pitch before "The Bearing Straights" Totally expanding right there. I had to nail to get my friends HB Nut out.

that's the Nothing Atols pendulum. One of the more difficult on the Captain. sweet action shot!

sic, Central Latitudes pitch!

this pitch has some ancient random ass bolts on it! Timepices for sure...actually more like timebombs. dont fall!
