Mike- the entire basin is incredible! Our new route, Hot Rats, is far right; it puts everything else in perspective.

Scuffy not much(got my ass kicked,as usual),couple friends got on modern warfare and checked out the gristle.The approach was quite time consuming and made the day more of a recon than climbing day lol
Would have tr'ed the gristle,but with a late start and lagging approach,it got freezing in that corridor,but definitely planning to head back sometime early early in the am sun and get on the gristle.......and get massacred.
"The best training for offwidth is climbing slab...hmmmm" ;)
Cheers Scuffy!

Did some ice bouldering today at lunch. I was going to try an area I hadn't climbed before, but the dahl sheep and mountain goats had come down to feed right below the ice, there must have been a dozen of them. Between not wanting to hastle wildlife and others taking pics, I just enjoyed the scene.
I did hit up another patch I also seem to be playing on, but the warm temps we've had the last couple weeks have made it somewhat rotten. I've learned to appreciate how ice changes day after day throughout the season. Looks like no deep cold in the near future to freeze everything solid, but with forecast for snow I guess its time to hit the slopes or trails this weekend.

I climbed into a dental chair in Coyhaique, Chile to get an infected tooth taken care of. Much better now and off to the North Patagonia Ice Cap area tomorrow.

Johnny K, did you approach from the Split Rock area or from the Yucca
turnout, or...?
Yeah, that Throbbing Gristle corridor is a COLD one.
