Awesome photos. I learned about this route a little over a year ago. Someday I want to climb it too.

Awesome. Was there any place to fill bottles with running water?

Yipes! You didn't get that, "I am gonna die" feeling when you were standing at those crazy angles? Looks like you couldn't even kick in very well, which would make a slip much more likely...

You mentioned the scale. It doesn't show in the pictures, of course, but I know what you mean - it's gotta be immense. The chutes on the north face of San G can get a little daunting, and they're maybe 1/3 the length of this? 1/4? Did it get demoralizing, where you looked up and thought you'd never get there?

Well, crazy amazing job. And how cool to run into Rick and Mike! Seems like a great adventure. I just wish I had the guts to go play with you guys on something like this. Congratulations to all 4 of you.

Howdy Steve :)

You guys are amazing -- congratulations! I am so envious. I'd love to do Snow Creek. Before you reached the mixed climbing/steeper section, was there another way to go that wasn't quite so steep?

I was astomished to see you out hiking again on Sunday. Looks like Superman (Rick) has a few other brothers from Krypton :wink:

Miles of smiles and admiration,
Ellen
