Love it. Many years ago, I climbed the N. Face route. Conditions were challenging, but it's one of my most memorable routes I've ever done. Also the only time in my life that I saw the Northern Lights. Your video brought back many memories.
P2 is a the 5.9 St Bernard Variation I believe! I followed this video (thank you for the resource 😊) and was thinking to myself where are the finger cracks hahaha
We got rained on for the 2nd day we planned on staying so that was it. Buddy’s that went up with us climbed NE Ridge of Bug and it was dry almost up to the summit. They are strong winter climbers so they managed to summit and get down the Kain route safely but it still needs a couple weeks of hot weather. Pigeon and Snowpatch are also covered in snow.
Really nice video, don't forget knots in your rope on rappel. I know someone who was on the mountain when someone went off the end of their rappel to their death
Ut was 35 years ago but U used to love doing this route. Mostly 5.6 to 5.7 climbing with a fun 5.8 roof crux. There a blind hand hold going over the roof you can't see it but once you feel around and find it the hold is very secure.
Probably the favorite climb I have ever done!! Super proud that I did it at age 58 with my 23 year son (with a professional guide)!! We had some tears of joy at the top!!
