Liberty ridge?
ha yep. the exposure up there was WILD. easy enough to solo but my asshole was busy squeezing out diamonds with the carbon glacier 7000' belowQuote:

Thumb Rock used to be considered a relatively safe bivi site, but lately, there have been some deadly incidents there with climbers being killed by pieces of the mountain falling on them.
Rainier is on my list, but I think I'm going to try Ptarmigan instead of Liberty.
This could be a good year for Liberty Ridge. Problem is earlier melt out and lower snowpack. I like the idea of the solitude of Ptarmigan or Curtis.
Thumb Rock is not “safe” just safer than anywhere else on the LR route to bivi.
^^ Johnny Vegas?
i recognize those tattoos. i think ginger cracks. but johnny vegas does have a very similar pitch on it, too - you just don't end up with the same vantage that the picture was taken fromQuote:

anyone who can name this i'll mail some coffee to - one of my favorite pitches anywhere
Last pitch of 3rd pillar? In that spot your at, green c3 for me. Then it’s all hero hand jams and a nice mantle out for the final move.
ha, no, wrong state entirelyQuote:

Ahh fuck yeah man!
Probably my best childhood memories are of climbing with my Dad in City of Rocks. I hope your kids had a blast, that is such a cool place!
After work LCC stoke!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9659b5d67b.jpg

Damn a year without the gym and only climbing moderate outdoors has really gotten to me. Did a skills review day in prep for some trips coming in May though...stoke!!
