My all time BEST climb

[snowmanx]

Well, after about 4 years (the last time I tried this climb, unsuccessfully) I finally made it yesterday. It was a sweet climb, I wish so bad it was on camera.

These are pics (of the line)from a few years ago, when I climbed it yesterday there was about a foot of fresh and all the rocks where covered.

As Usual, pics don't quite do it justice, once I got up to the first right turn it got incredible steep...even steeper than what I thougth until I got up there.

The red line is going up...the yellow line, unfortuneately coming down, I wasn't as successful, sled must have rolled about 40 times or so, there really was no safe way down. I WON"T do it again just because of that.

Fortuneately, only broke my choke off, lost a key, and broke my tach.

It was a rush for sure!!!! LOL Just wish coming down was better!!! lol

Nice! I took some sick lines yesterday too....none that sick.....the snow is so set up right now.

 

[ragincajun]

aaahhhh yes. i know exactly where that is, i ran outa gas climbing on the left side of that hill back there last year ha ha. i looked at it last year at the end of april and there is no way in hell i would try it lol. that is one steep hill!! i thought that area was called slipery bill or is that farther down? nothing like the feeling after you just pulled something you have been looking at for years.

i have always wanted to climb that pull to the left of the saddle in El Tigre but i havnt had the sled or the balls to pull it until this year. went up and had to hang a 90* to the right because of the cornice straight up the middle.!

one of these days i want to climb the left side of tigre through the little opening in the trees. snow was too soft when i went this year. next time i might give her a poke

Slippery Bill is opposite of Morrison, you can see it from there.

I've been looking at the shoot to the right of the the saddle in Tirge basin...not enough snow this year, last year there was but I didn't have the machine to pull it off. ( see pic for the line I've been looking at for a couple of years)

I took all those shoots to the left of Tigre, and the one just to the left of the straight shot you are talking about. I had to go up, hang a 90* to the left, clime some more, then hang a 90* to the right....it was a nice climb too!!! LOL

Yesterday was a great day!!!

I think you people are all out of your freakin' minds.

I get vertigo just looking at the pictures!

 

[tudizzle]

wow can we get just one or two more sleds on that hill? at least no one is parked in the runout.....

 

[T-Bone]

You're nuts, Allen!!! That is a rediculous pull. I haven't been to Morrison in years. Last time I was there was in the days of the stock 133.5" XLT. I think I might have made it over the trees out in the open lower part. Things certainly have changed.

I was thinking the same thing but ya know...sometimes the snow is so set up and secure to the base you can get away with it.

They do look like fleas on a white dog don't they!

[donbrown]

Great pull.

Nice to know a winning spirit is thriving out on the snow.

 

[mattymac]

Exactly what I was thinking. What a freak'n circus (play the circus music here).

 

[PowderBrad]

MAN...YOU GUYS ARE SOOO SENSITIVE. Its OK!!! Theres gonna be a few sleds on a hill from time to time.

 

[Himark]

NICE pull! It looks like it would be impossible to navigate down without some real deep pow to slow your dessent.

BTW, Love the yellow squiggly loop lines. That must indicated rolling eh?
