Jaybro,
Rick skiied the Ford-Chevy-Stettner in the early eighties free heel, solo, no rope (downclimbing where most rap)
Here is a photo of Rick, CB and myself after CB and I skiied the same route a few years ago. We ran in to Rick in the Meadows.

When it works, one of the things I love about this place is that I can ask a question as obscure as that might seem, to the mainstream, and get an almost immediate answer with photos! Cheers NFB! Have we ever met?
You guys are way gnarlier skiers than I!

NFB where are you in the picture with the rock climbing and the glacier below in the series above. Another bunch of great shots^^^. I got over to Tensleep yesterday and did the Leigh Creek Flow. What a beautiful place.When done in one pitch it is a big one. All of a 190 feet. I have not gotten the whole thing on lead yet but Keith lead it up twice. The upper half is quite steep and was quite dry ice that was only about 4-6 inches thick. Many places you could see right trough the flow with the ice only being about an inch thick. Hopefully will get this one on lead soon.

got your email, thanks for reminding me of this thread!
we have climbed on pingora, wolfs head, overhang tower, sharks nose, block tower, watchtower, warrior1, and warbonnet.
the feather buttress (and black elk for that matter)
is one of the best climbs i have done in the winds! (cirque)
(out of 15 different climbs we completed...)
highly recommended to anyone who wants some adventure!

Cor,
+++1 for Black Elk. Amazing little big wall. 1000 feet of pure awesomeness. I hope to climb this route another five times.
Mike M,
Thanks again for more photos of random Wyoming. Tensleep and Shell canyons are so amazing. Perfect limey, amazing un-explored granite, ice, a whiskey factory in Kirby, what more can you ask for?
The photo you asked about (i think,) is from a series of routes we linked on the North Face of the Middle. I wrote a TR about it. That is Sam Macke cleaning the Robbins aid pitch before he hung it way out there on a tenuous ice pitch.
Here's a few ok photos of a trip to ski Mt Moran last summer:
This route caused an uproar (brief one) over bolting ice lines among the old guard. Turns out the ire was for naught. (now that the whole f&^#er fell down)

Edejom, that is where it is.
Dennis, nice video. I think I wrote a message on that other area you posted on MP in the Laramie Range. Pat and I went to do what we thought was a splitter but was just a seam. Looks like there are a lot of routes up there. We did one that was like 5.9 or easy 10a and then got massively stormed on.

Dennis this one looks cool. Did you say there was a 4 pitch 5.11 up that.The Laramie Range has an unbelievable amount of rock and it all seems good. My brother and I had never been there and just drove around climbing cracks we would find. Very fun, then of course there was the guided tour of Reese. That was a good week.

Dingus, I didn't realize what a budding Felini you are! Really liked the sound track on the second one. What is it?

That is one bad ass crack. That picture does not do it justice. It looks to be very over hanging for 50ft with a wide hands flaring crack with a pod or two.

Thnx Dingus, actually i like that video too.
Mike M There is only One way to do that crack justice! And if we approach from the East we can honestly say we didn't see the no trespassing signs... long as they don't shoot first...
Love that shot of Family home night on Dingus' Couch!
