TR - Oh The Places You'll Go

That was a reading at our wedding. You made me tear up.

Incredible season, thanks for sharing.

Hah, at ours too! By my old dad in his thick Danish accent, tears rolling down his face.

Sorry for the threadjack Aaron. You most certainly nailed it with your TR. Well played.

Yeah man! That "alpha" coolie on Four Horsemen is boss, huh?

Wow as usual buddy! :yourock:

Thanks for the Revs beta dude! I knew I forget someone in the first post.

Yeah Alpha is awesome. Everything on that mountain(s?) is big, steep, and perfect (I guess the whole range is). We made an attempt on the lines lookers right and left of Alpha and got shut down by unconsolidated 60+deg snow or ice and poor/incorrect rack choices. Its a toss up between Alpha and the FATRS on the West side of the Angel for line of the trip.

Right afterwards. He flew out on the plane we flew in on. He did however give me some beta on the range including sending me the above photo. Great guy and, looking around at the routes in the Revs that he has put up, a badass alpine climber.

there is a local jackson area guy that has definitely done the routes in there also. Tom Walter was a friend and ski partner. the photos brought back memories of hanging out talking climbing with him. long expensive flight glad you found some good conditions.

I think Tom maybe climbed with Greg Collins there in the mid-1980's. When Greg saw my pics from the Revs a few years ago he commented about how much mass the glaciers had lost. It was pretty low snow when I was there a couple years ago, but it looks like you guys hit it on a deeper year, Aaron. Looks like it was a great trip!

That is correct. I always figured snow conditions could be pretty thin out there.
