Ah, thank you. Nice climb of Stuart by the way - you are smart to be there before all the snow in the Cascadian melts! I love how awesome the mountain looks as you get glimpses on the Teanaway Road.
Great article! And beautiful pictures!
I am just now reading the Herman Buhl biography were he talks over and over again about the amazing climbs he put in the Wilder Kaiser!
Yes, isn't that neat? I just read that too. He actually mentions this climb briefly, it's where he has to go second on the rope, and below the main summit his partner falls when a plane screams through the Ellmauer Tor. It's very interesting that a glider flew through there while we were climbing. I'm glad it didn't make Josef or I fall in a similar fashion!
