Every time I hear/say HOLY SPHINCTER! it's like a tribute to Dano.

Great video! It's always trippy to me that rock falls so fast but the clouds of dust are so big and hang around so long.

A Hook too Far

JSB- Kait b
For all those who have asking - the article of our second ascent of Wings of Steel will be published in Rock and Ice magazine. This will be available to read in approximately 4 weeks!

Thanks goes out to everyone who has provided support around this climb. Ammon and I both hope you all will enjoy it!

Dweeb- No just seeing if Steve and Mimi were around. I am looking forward to the article.

Now in a time honored thread tradition i will bump your ponies with mountains.


Edit: Date of that post was Sep 14

I'm trying to decide if I should read it in the bathroom. Of course no disrespect to K and A.

Always read WOS material where cleanup is easiest!

Oh Pink Pony, next best thing to a Dik as you are, tell me true...

Where DID your pals get any microflake hooking and copperheading experience on lead prior to leaving the ground on WOS?

Only one mention of hooks in all these route descriptions and the topos.

After all these years, I've never gotten an answer from Richard and Mark about any relevant wall experience beyond the Riverside Quarry routes so thoroughly documented by Jensen and Smith after their terrifying six months at it!

Richard did claim to have soloed the South Face of the Washington Column in somewhere between two and ten days but this isn't mentioned in the Book of Dik as it intereferes with the "chosen for greatness" angle.

Oh, and is WOS a P6 route?

If not that one then Winds of Change or Ring of Fire?

Pink Pony edits---all better!

You might want to do some proofing of your own there, Brony.


Edit -- Almost there. Still need to change the fourth one to "interferes" you see.

I chatted with Ammon during the FaceLift - he helped with pouring beer. Not to give away secrets, but I'm looking forward to their report on the climb.

Not bad at all for LA. What's wrong with that place?

It looks cool .....
