Yesterday we climbed a long very loose crack fa so that we could put up more unneeded sport routes in the ORG and have plenty of trundling to do on the next holiday weekend.

Gaby hasn't been climbing much or running, etc. for the past month or so but wanted to get out today so we did a round of 7 old easier familiars with Rafi and Analia (Martin was off on his annual mountaineering trip to Cerro Vallecitos. Let's hear it for the Mountaineers!).

Figured out the moves and bolt placement for this monster upcoming FA today. 5.10/10+, 15 bolts, full 35 meters. This one is so good.

It's not 5.10+... it's another 5.11c.

I did a terrible job of reading this route - but the grade bump is a decent reward.

Also got a rope up on the line to the right. Dare I say it might be easier?
Also, only 30 meters or so since it is on the next ledge up - this is the general route at first look -there is a stacked dihedral set at the top that looks fun.

New routing in the ORG- good stuff!

Mike you get out on the ice like all the time!

Our approaches are so burly that we have to pace ourselves and take rest days between sending but these lines are worth it.

Tried to do my usual solo up hidden gully but OMG there was a ton of snow (PS . Anyone know what era my army surplus bindings are?) anyways the approach took 2 hrs and then when I got up into it it was just too deep. Felt reasonably stable but the 25ft head wall at the top of the first snow field was completely missing. the narrow part at the middle of the hourglass is supposed to be a 25ft tall almost verticle ice chimny . Above that constriction is the 2nd icefield and then good steeper ice to the top. It was neck deep on me and the thought of the 2nd icefield being loaded up like that was not comforting... My first naked thread of the season Nice butt slide back to the road exposing a layer that did break free and slide.... Some nice young ladies from boston were nice enough to have broken trail up to Terror Tory which I had never done before this was a really fun pitch that salvaged the day :)

A low snow year means good access for us in the Northern Rockies

Trad, you asked @your ski bindings. They’re Silvretta Saas Fee. The go-to approach binder of the 60-70’s. Yours are a later pair when the plate was added to the toe. Of note, the cable lever throw is a releaseable system based on where you position the little hook catch, in theory...I do remember the cables break regularly, and always carried a spare. Still have a few old ones around. The bindings were very useful as they fit most any boot, even rubber shoe pacs.
