Ed, Scuff, I believe my new scramblers™ would be ideal for this approach, even the waterfall.

hey there donini... say, what a great share....

say, i just had to zero in on this... things just aint always what they seem from the far-off lure of a great view, huh:

TM apologized for his mistake as I was suggesting he get new binoculars and that he get his eyes tested.


but--somehow, it's always still worth it... ;)

Jim -

Great story. Very fun to read. This and your story about the axe behind the back straight into the tree.

Very fun indeed.

"Up rope...I'm not moving..." Too funny, Jim.

What a great story...and it makes me feel so much better for using that simple line any time I find my self in an off-width. Many thanks!

So I've been assuming the approach from above is around at line 1 but then looking at the pic I started thinking maybe line 2. Anybody? I remember Werner says coming from the bottom is faster.
