First ascent. With Matt Segal. Over 100 sessions.

There are no hands-off stances on the entire four-pitch crux headwall. We used the old aid belays. I’ll be the first in line to hand over an ice-cold sixer of Kokanee mountain-sized beers to whoever links this beast ledge to ledge.

First ascent. With Will Stanhope.

Matt was close to climbing every pitch but unfortunately was unable to link the crux face pitch.

I’ve never put so much effort into one climb and am extremely heartbroken for not sending with Will, but I’m super honored to have witnessed his ascent and to have shared so many days on the wall with him…. I guess I just wasn’t meant to send this year but am trying to look on the bright side: Spending more time in the Bugaboos isn’t the worse thing in the world.
