well done guys. I've been hearing rumblings about attempts/forays into the DR in the last couple years. Must've been quite the adventure. Very much looking forward to the TR.
We flew by in early summer and snapped some photos of the range.

These decent granite-like walls NNW of Snowside @ Monarch Icefield looked to be quite quality. I believe Oplo or one of the elder heads would know but I think this the Desire range?

Dom you must have a good pic of Taleomey Tower if you're flying that route that regularly?

School of rock is one of the plum alpine rock climbs in the coast range!
^ FA Jason Sinnes, Jimmy Martinello and Bruce Kay
I was super bummed when the ST admins booted Bkay from the Taco, and deleted all of his posts. Bruce shared a wealth of information and stories here!
I wonder if they had any clue about who and what they were banishing, with a few mouse clicks.

It was suicide by cop. Bruce says he's now comfortably free of his ST political addiction.
But I agree, his climbing contributions were first-rate, and I miss them. And him.

Thanks for all your work and perspective on the subject, Bruce!

Such a humbling range with a scale difficult to grasp at times.
Don't seem to have any photos from this summer of Taleomey Tower, My eyeballs always seem to be drawn towards the Monarch & Wadd region when we pass by. I'll have a look at hard drives from last years.
I posted this in the Culbert thread but here's one of The Princess, Page, Monarch, Queen (below), and Throne.

Hm, im glad I picked up the latest issue of Supertopo Live for my Sat night read.
Thanks all, for the contributions..
Hey Ghost

If you end up moving to PR you two just might be neighbors :O
