Chiloe, Is that locker an attempt to better ensure the retention of the hanger when that
stud snaps off? Don't want that little relic to die a lonely death in the woods at the base?
Hah, that's it, didn't want to lose the nice SMC hanger if I fell, snapped the stud, and
F2'd on the belay! Fortunately none of that happened.

This fellow.....who is he? He is midway through the first pitch of the first route Perswig posts above.The best clue to his identity lies near his waist...he's leading.

That there is hot Henry Barber. Looks like he's headed up something near Beginners Route?

Nice call Derek. He's actually just a bit lower than the climber in Perswig's first shot,about to do what I call the adjective cracks on Sleeping Beauty.Three short cracks,slanted,discontinuous,rounded,bottoming.
Hot One wearing his signature one inch swami,and going spring free as always.

Ah...I thought that tree island down and left of him was the one folks so often set up an awkward belay on when doing Beginners, instead of stepping up and left to the nice comfy ledge anchor. Kinda looks like it from that angle...

I took the picture from Short Order,which is the route in Perswig's second set of photos.I have the exact same series of shots from S.O as Dale but I'm hoping to use them in my "How not to climb on double ropes" series soon....lol....

Edge, Looks like Whitehorse is the place to take 7 year old daughters on their first outings.

Wow, identical daughter summit shots!
Sarah and I climbed Whitehorse together when she was 11.
She wrote a wonderful story about that day, as one of her college-application essays.

I wonder if by age 18 Maxine will even remember that day. The photos will help I suppose.
I will remember it as one of my greatest outings ever.

Been real warm here in NH recently. I climbed at Willoughby on sat and bouldered in p-way on sun. Both days perfect temps. Band M and Humphreys will be the place to be in the next week or so.

Jim, that is hysterical! Identical photos right down to the pink shirt and helmet. Cheers!
Meg graduates in 2 months from Roger Williams University with math and education majors, summa c#m laude, and she still remembers that day as fondly as I do.

Perfect weather in the North Country this weekend, I hope almost everyone got out.
Surprisingly uncrowded on Whitehorse, though. Cowpoke and I had the Wonder Wall to ourselves.

Chiloe: Is that the same traverse to get over to the Last Unicorn?
We went to Echo on Saturday and it was very wet. Managed to find a few dry routes around Skeletal Ribs.

Yep, same approach as Last Unicorn, but for Ladyslipper you stop on the first big tree ledge instead of going farther right.
