    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.

    Temping, but 2 big spring trips already have my funds for this winter tapped out. Maybe next spring, you know, when the Revs have more snow.

    And bump for more.

    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!

    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.
    I can't believe you are a rando racer because I look so much better in Lycra than you.

    And the final installment. It took a little longer to finish this but Ive got a good excuse. It looked a lot like this.


    DSC_0241 by Aaron Diamond13, on Flickr

    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!

    We reached a knob above the small bit of ice. Stoked!


    DSC_0363 by Aaron Diamond13, on Flickr

    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.

    And thats about it!


    DSC02275 by Aaron Diamond13, on Flickr

    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.
