    That was pretty good, dankhucker. But what about your ten?

    I might come up with a completely different list tomorrow but here are ten I like tonight.

    Mount Rishiri, NW face, Japan Sea (April, 1991)
    Mount Washington, Summit Snowfields-Right Gully-Tuckerman Ravine-Pinkham Notch, NH (April, 1985)
    Mount Audubon, Crooked Couloir, CO (March, 2007)
    Mount Sopris, North Face, CO (June, 1982)
    Torreys Peak, North Face, CO (May, 1996)
    Torreys Peak, Tuning Forks, CO (June, 2005)
    Disappointment Peak, unnamed couloir, WY (June, 1981)
    Mount Yotei, Hokkaido, Japan (March, 1991)
    Annupuri-Iwaonuppuri, Hokkaido, Japan (February, 2003)
    Biei-dake, Hokkaido, Japan (March, 1994)
    Sierra High Route, Independence-Giant Forest, CA (April, 1988)

    I boiled my thermometer, and sure enough, this spot, which purported to be two thousand feet higher than the locality of the hotel, turned out to be nine thousand feet LOWER. Thus the fact was clearly demonstrated that, ABOVE A CERTAIN POINT, THE HIGHER A POINT SEEMS TO BE, THE LOWER IT ACTUALLY IS. Our ascent itself was a great achievement, but this contribution to science was an inconceivably greater matter.

    ^why do people on here need to constantly point out that others are on their ignore list? Doesnt this go against the purpose of "ignoring" them?
