@@troytimmons Is the season always that short up there? That’s how it was here in NC this year. Hoping to get out to Hyalite next winter tho. The routes look amazing

How was walking to the top to setup the TR or did somebody lead it?
@troytimmons7 күн бұрын
no walk up, for an easier lead you can either lead jeff's right(3) or magically(3/4), then traverse the ledge right to get to the CAGI anchors. my buddy solod magically and brought me up

whats your trs setup?
@murraypendergrass807711 ай бұрын
It appears to be a camp lift followed by a micro traxion
@troytimmons11 ай бұрын
yep, spot on murray. i like to have a non toothed device on top to catch a fall and if it slips (above a few kn) then the micro would catch with the teeth at a lower force. this setup does become a little sketchy on a frozen rope so ymmv

You foot stance is nice and wide, but you place your ice axes to the left and ride side of your body, so ur body is forming an H. This messes up ur balance when moving ur feet up. Instead, you want your ice axes in almost a vertical line above your head so that ur body is forming an A. Place ur axes where u want ur body to go on the next foot move, then move ur feet up so that ur body is centered below the axes and ur feet are to the left and right of them. This will improve ur balance and allow you to put more weight on your feet, and work ur arms way less.

thank you for the feedback, i read gadds book and the A frame method you mentioned is definitely the most efficient way to move on a perfect sheet of ice. My thought process while climbing this extremely 3d ice was to use as many existing pick holes as possible. But on rewatch, i see i missed quite a few where i could have maintained a better A frame and using existing holes. I blame my rock climbing background!
