A+ Quality so far. Thanks for bringing the stoke.
Yeah, Rob flew out a week ago and sent some beta shots of the main Rev. Looks like the AK range or Tordrillos this year. Still have room for more if you want to go, late March ;)
Fabulous TR, way to get after it. At those temperatures I can see why some of the team weren't wild about getting out of the sleeping bag.

nice... not the typical ak :)
Awesome TR Aaron! Looks like couloirs were quite a bit more filled in than when we were there in 2010. Way to get after it!

Fanfuckingtastic! Thanks for the stoke.
Great TR! Thanks for sharing
Whoa. Impressive bit o' work. Thanks for sharing.
Back to the front!
About the time I think this place has finally dried out like an old vagina, along comes someone with a couple of fingers of good old-fashioned Kentucky jelly.
Thanks.
Frozen liquor. Brrrrrr. Impressive trip.
Keep posting.
bump for awesome.

Anyways on to the rest!
After our first rap we downclimbed a short bit to another anchor and after another shorter rap we reached skiable snow. Steep corn in a wild setting. YES!

A short skis on rap brought us out leaving only a 1500ft climb out of the basin between us and dinner/sleep. Id prefer to forget the climb out. I was smoked and slushy spring snow didnt help.

We spent a few days waiting to get picked up and before I knew it I was somewhat inebriated in Anchorage. Sorry, no pictures, but this video should give you a pretty good idea of it.

Thanks again for the beta and inspiration in the first place Jim. Comparing photos it looks like we did hit it with deeper snowpack. Probing on the glacier was around 2.5-3m in most spots.
A strummer comment! I have finally obtained TRG legitimacy. :cool:
WOW! Thats the stuff.
