"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Great route!Soloed in perfect conditions. You can start pretty late on this route, because it stays in the shade until quite late, then boot down the standard route on nicely-softened snow. Trip report.

HeadwallClimbed the headwall via what i believe is the right variation, the one the second ascent party used. simuled the whole thing, up to AI5 when we got a little off route.

Great route!As gcap states: perfect weather + good company = successful summit. Lots of snow on route made conditions ideal. Good times.

Car to Car in 10 hoursWe belayed one vertical pitch low down and climbed the rest ropeless. A sonic boom from a low flying Canadian air force jet nearly made me crap my pants. I was sure it was a serac calving off right above us.

Beautiful climbGreat climb with Pablo Puruncajas. Going up the runnels on the headwall was a trip. I felt that an any time a 10-foot ice ball would be coming down to pluck us off the mountain. Obviously, I had watched Indiana Jones too many times in my youth...

Coleman/DemingNice climb. Still itching to get back and summit the North Ridge or Coleman Headwall though.

Weather = suckTurned around 300ft from the nice smooth summit due to high winds and very low temperatures.
