Richard, sorry for having to go this route... But, you don't call, you don't write!
So logistics- September 30 thrue October 9 we will be on the Day Needle trying to free the route. Curious if you would want to ( key word want) come hike out for a few days equipped with a supper sweet camera to shoot some photos from Iceberg, the notch of east face and east buttress as well as the summit of Keeler needle. Figured you could use a brake from the restruant biz. Let me know.
Also if anyone else want to see or photograph the shanagins let me know.
Side note, Richard it will be cold and you should camp.... You know just chill if you want to. We for sure will not be setting any speed records up there. For a few days we won't be to high on the wall.
Wahoooooooooooo!
