yellloop shlooooukie!
think Harlin III skied the notch in the 70's (winter time). on rap as well.
must really trust those dynafits, great stoke
FKNA!!! Great stuff!!!:yourock::yourock::yourock:
BUUUUUUUMP this fucker 'cause I'm getting stoked for the season.
Hope it fills in this year, I'd love a shot at this bad bad bad bad line.
What I love about TGR:
You can lurk around here for years and one day someone bumps an old thread and it's some of the best shit you've seen on the internet.
Great stuff!
Nice bump, Bernardo. Did you see the photos from when Adimmen and I skied the Notch? I might be convinced to ski it again, especially if it gets fat in the spring.
Nice work good before work stoke!!
Holy good shit! Amazing
Quality bump! Sure beats the fuck out of all these lame resort threads.Quote:

10 years later, this deserves a BUMP
Yup. Brings back good memories.
The idea of climbing and skiing that line makes me weak in the knees.
Amazing, that is one ballsy line.
a trip up and down mammary lane
big nuts big line and a big FKNA still a good read after the TR first came out.....
I've climbed this twice late season, mid to late August, when it turns to a super solid and fun alpine ice route, probably graded AI3. I can't imagine skiing it. Both times I climbed it I ended up getting altitude sick because I ran out of water near the top of the Notch and forgot how long the standard route is to first summit via the Homestretch and then downclimb from the summit. It's about two miles of hiking above 13,000 and takes a few hours. Great TR!!!
Glad this old TR survived Photobucket hell, unlike so many other old TR's.
While a lot of faces in CO have lost some of their fearsome reputations in the last decade or so, this E face of Longs still holds a lot of mystique and instills fear. This TR has inspired me for the last ten years, but I still havent made it up there. AFAIK, the notch still awaits a clean (no raps or downclimbs) ski descent, not to mention all that other snow to the right...
That's scary! Legit extreme skiing imo.
This is something I know I’ll never do, even if I were young enough. So thanks for letting me experience it vicariously. Crazy stuff. Glad you survived it!
