Hey hosers. This is the last pitch of "Power of Lard". Quite a looker, eh?


Steve Grossman's "Warrior's Way" and "Hockey Night in Jersey" along with the late Darrel Hatten's "Tom Egan Memorial Route" are also right around there. Who's been up that way and has stories to share?

me, the jirka brothers, and maddog did it with too little beer and I wandered off to climb with susan detweiler while the others sat in a tent and captured a mouse for the day.

July 1993.

obvious right angling corner that goes up toward the egan headwall but stays to the left.

Thanks for the corrections. The Piche/Atkinson guide had both wrong--Daryl and the FA team. Now that that's been settled, how about some stories?

My friend Cory posted a nice Bugaboos trip report here in 2006, which starts with photos of climbing Sunshine:

I don't have time to tell the story of Hockey Night in Jersey with Keith Johnson right now beyond saying that we are Rangers fans but I do have this account of the Tom Egan Memorial FA from The Bugaboos by J F Garden.








I have been meaning to post this in Daryl's memory for a while so this is a great place for it.
