John

They are "new routes", or for sure FRA's.

I assume you climbed one or more of them?

Back in Jan. 2006, when WD40 has super fat, there was a route to the left of Moonlight. Quite fat on top, probably fatter than 2L4Z this year. With all of my extensive research on Evans Thomas Creek, where was no reported ascents of that route either.

Cheers

Carlos Buhler and I climbed the route left of Moonshine yesterday. A sketchy route on poor rock, thin ice and bad pro!

Glad to read that it was probably a FA

I think you guys repeated "Cry of the Snow Lion" or maybe did a variation. Good work!


Cry of the Snow Lion M5, 55m

FA: Sean Easton, Eamonn Walsh, Feb. 05.

25m left of Moonlight. Ends halfway up the rock band. Never seen this form before.
55m Ice, rock, mud, snow and shrubs.

Engaging climbing on trad gear, has an alpine quality to it (Not new school mixed). 6 pins, 6 cams, couple nuts, 2 stubbies. Fixed two pin rap anchor at the top.

Climbing is never desperate, sometimes a ways between pro. Enjoyed best when climbed with a peaceful mind. See http://www.cryofthesnowlion.com for insight into the perseverance and certitude of an oppressed people with a enlightened understanding of consciousness.
