Light weight sleeping bag and pad, no bivvy sack. Jetboil for coffee and to melt snow. Had rock shoes but never used them- approach shoes are fine. Bring a 60 meter 8mm rope and 4 or 5 cams and some stoppers and slings. Foil pack salmon or chicken for protein and garlic instant potatoes to pull it together. Don't even think about simul-climbing, if you do you will bail.

Awesome! This one is on my list.
Here's a shot taken from Evo Lake while Peter was nestled up to the bar with a glass of Kunde Cabernet in camp after the first foray he and Galen did in '97. Thanks for the Rack beta Jim.

Nice job! I just did the whole shebang myself a week prior. Wondering if you found summit registers on 13,360, Darwin and Warlow? On 13,360 I put scratch paper under a rock (!!!) and on Darwin, I just wrote in the front page of "The Origin of the Species" and on Warlow I tucked some paper into a ziploc.
Just curious if you found the real registers or if you used the book and the ziploc?
Heading up the NE ridge of Warlow was unbeatable! Such perfect stone!

As Bridwell said, "That Donini is Bad Ass." Great job Jim, you inspire us and continue to push it hard! I had to laugh when at the Bridwellfest, The Bird and I were driving through the Monument, when he saw yer van he told me to just keep driving, you kicked his ass the day before.
Peace
