On Tuesday January 15 Kevin Daniels,Trevor Anthes, and Kurt Wedberg climbed the Widow’s Tears in Yosemite Valley, the longest continuous ice climb in the contiguous 48 states.
The climb looks amazing. Apparently there's more to Yosemite than just rocks.

I borrowed 5 feet of barb wire. I should be able to front step with my new crampons.

I got a few shots of you guys from Pohono Bridge turnout, including a 45 minute time-lapse.
Here's a couple of photos of the viewfinder of my video camera.

Sweet! Dave dave dave jealousy is unbecoming. All of the mags are desperate for this stuff and monitor all the sites and blogs. Especially a 7 Summiteeer and 3 time Everest Summiteer form the North and the South Routes like Kurt Wedberg. Try to remember you can NEVER MAKE Yourself LOOK GOOD by trying to make someone else look BAD. Simply unbecoming. And of all the people in mountaineering I have met, Kurt is the MOST HUMBLE. Also, didn't notice a photo of him in the article either? By the by, is there a list somewhere of the alleged 3 previous climbs that would have given anyone notice...I thought by rare the ice only forms infrequently and not every year. Just a thought bro. Silence can be golden.

Im scared of heights so I tend gravitate to big mountains over 17K but have met Kurt. I have observed some of the biggest names in mountaineering approach him for his opinion and request for his help. I'm a retired law enforcement SAWAT type of fellow not prone to your type of animus and negativity. Normally we'd just thump a first class butt head like you and escort you down to the county jail. It's clear that you have a poor self image and the fact that you responded to my post means you have the little man syndrone going on. I thought you California types were open about alternative life styling...with the man love thing but your prelidiction to name calling and insults is so telling. My bet is you soke to much weed and have few friends. Over...

It's well past my bedtime but I was hoping Dave would defend his poor self image or little man syndrone before I pass out from all his blond California ambition. A little verbal thumping appears to go a long way with you juvenile types. What a conundrum you must live given the lack of matriarchal attention as a child, still acting like one. Please ponder your next post as I want it to be worthy of consideration. Over

Hey Tater WTF? You show up here nameless with a fictitious name and your first post is criticizing a long time member with a real name for calling out Kurt on his glorious chest pounding and bring it back into reality. Do a little research you will know who dave is, his intentions and how real he is you nameless fuk!
These guys did a killer route in good style. They should report on their ascent but "Rare" it was not. Did the mags track down Kurt looking for the story? I don't know all dave did was call it like it was.
Tater typically cops are the ones with the with ego problems. I am betting you’re the guy that got beat up on the playground for being a weenie, and that’s why you like to Normally we'd just thump a first class butt head like you and escort you down to the county jail. Does this kinda make you feel a little better about your history on the playground?
Why don’t you take a look at the history of dave contributions here at Supertopo and then take a look at yours and tell me who the fuktard really is. Nice first post Kook!
