Johns a good dude who works hard to stay in shape, and it pays off. 51 hours straight in winter no less, sweet - those dudes were flying. Nice report Jay. Didn't you lap that one back in the day ? The day being, of course, before most of us was born? LOL
locker style edit:
Dohh, nevermind, just read the comments on your link and see you posted it up in a comment way down the list.
"What did you do this weekend?"
Oh, it was raining so I copped a 40' bouldering sesh to keep my joints loose". ............
?
"How bout you"?
"Flew up and did the first winter ascent of Mt Huntington"....

Awesome! A great report with great photos!
Of course the folks at Cascadeclimbers have only commented on it about 15 times since it was posted on March 1.
Sniff-sniff thinks the Seattle-based climber: This ascent wasn't in the Cascades. Really not worthy of comment. Surprised the moderators allowed it in. Why don't they post more volcano ascent stories?

Here are a few photos that I took of the French Ridge
Winter is easy, every thing is frozen
Try climbing those ridges when it's bottomless depth hoar without any protection or belays.

I have met one of the guys (Brad) from this team in Hyalite. Was a really nice guy, and his friend took a cool photo of me. We both got to lead the Scepter in some weird chandelirie conditions that day. Awesome to hear about their climb. Prolly a lot better to go to Alaska knowing you have a window and doing it in a few long days vs planning a trip without knowing if the window will be there! Great strategy and execution! Awesome TR too!

At least they didn't do the majority of the climb in approach shoes(maybe that's the next step:-))
