Wow. All I can say is wow. :shock: I wonder if putting in some pro on that last section would be in order. Course then you'd have to haul a harness, pickets, etc. up all that. One heck of a freakin' climb.

Dam,
That's indeed scary, and a ton of work.
Looks like the conditions are dangerous now, with new snow on top of old, with little consolidation, very glad you guys didn't get taken down!
Thanks for the awesome photos, don't know what's worst, the major chance of avalanche, or that scary, hairy beast chasing you!

Awesome slide show Steve. I am happy to hear that you and Fernando came through such dangerous conditions okay. It would have scared the hell out of me.
This is serious climbing. You guys dont monkey around :wink:

Great photos. All that Skyline training has really paid off. Few people can do what you guys have been doing on a weekly basis.

I'll say it again, good job guys. Steve, you look like Sisyphus rolling the boulder up the mountain. WTF?!! Just to save some DWA property?

PS. Everyone is clamoring for the video, but I thought the picture of the peak at sunset was very cool.
