I well remember a conversation with Bryan Burdo on our way in to Triumph. I was complaining about some unlikely scene in a movie, such as the floor-full of snakes in Lost Ark, and he said, "Andy, the movies are for fantasy, for fun, you know?"

We did the standard/classic I-forget-which ridge (West?), but halfway up we heard a tink-tink and saw Bob Crawford IN A RED SHIRT placing a pin coming around the North Ridge as he and Pete Doorish made the first ascent. Would have been a good time to have a camera.
edit:
That was the FA of the North Face/ Central Rib in August 1981

Funny stuff Bruce & Andy!
Thanks for confirming that "the wall" in question is in fact famous Bruce.

No Jack Lewis on Triumph mentioned by Beckey. Pete Doorish and Alex Cudkowicz doing the east face in '85. Turns out it was the Northeast Ridge we did. Good position but not much rock-climbing, which I was still learning was not the be-all end-all in getting up mountains. In fact, the most fun we had was seeing Bob and Pete, then meeting them on top, then a couple lucky guesses on the descent (or Bryan's sixth sense route finding).
Meanwhile, back at the ranch

Wow, i missed those last shots. Thanks Andy!
Looking forward to seeing people at Perry's tonight! He called me today, and said things should be ramping up around 7:00-7:30.
See y'all there!!

MH2, you know you are just being a tease about that roof crack, right?
(in edit: not that I could make two moves on it)

Not meant to tease. Just a TEST. As to location.

The test is more a routine diagnostic of the Oplopanax database. All 3 photos are within 5-10 minutes of each other.
As pic 2 shows, the bugs have not learned to fear diggers, yet.

Excellent bonfire with Perry and Nadine last night. But, dang, I didn't take any photos. Does anyone have some they could post?

Ok this one sucks, but you can see more of the crowd.
Thanks a lot Perry for a great time, and a beautiful bonfire which kept us nice and warm.
That deer stew was awesome too!

i dunno about that roof but the diagonal pod crack sure looks a lot like solarium area.
maybe the roof is the one that leads out to cruising to infinity?
sorry for the slow reply. had to go to Alberta to protest the pipeline.

All is well.
Yes, the Solarium.
I checked out where it said that the ledge under Above and Beyond continues to the Solarium.
The middle pic is from under Room on Fire, just around the corner from Sunblessed.
The bug is a bristletail, maybe archaeognatha.

Despite what the photo may suggest, that crack is too easy to have a name. The only danger was that my foot slipped halfway out of the shoe once. Ah well, I could have hiked down without, but I did reflect that down-climbing to recover the shoe was something I really didn't want to do, and something I didn't take into account when leaving the brushy gully for the crack.
