Thanks for all the chalk on the South East Ridge of Superior

I would probalby still be there lost wondering which way is up without all the chalk hand prints.

Selfie or it didn't happen...

Thanks for keeping it classy Tom. Sorry to hear that some chalk ruined your day.

Here's your selfie Brian. Proof positive that I made it to the top with aid of chalk ticks, intestinal fortitude, years of hard training, and the most classy beer ever to come out of the beautiful state of Washington.

Is the chalk still there? I've been wanting to do that route for a while but I've been afraid I'd get lost!

Can someone go chalk up the West Slabs for me too?

No No... you don't need chalk ticks on the West Slabs.... apparently you just follow the bolts now.
No the photo was taken in my living room. I didn't pay my electric bill this month. Thus I'm drinking cheaper beer unlike you more top shelf types.

Did they at least do the sit start?

= MtProj moment of Zen.

'bout time

Likely the same party who didn't clean a #2 Camelot on the ridge to Flagstaff. Finest piece of booty I've found in the mountains to date. Really nice sling and shiny biners to boot.

Tom just a caution and heads up. The route has been washed clean of all chalk by the rain this year. I wish you safe travels in navigating to the summit. 

If the chalk IS washed away as reported, one can also follow the trail of obliterated vegetation.

Better yet, GoPro and post jerky, nauseating video online.....

I dunno.  I'm still a bit conflicted about Oly being:

A)  A classy beer.

B)  From Washington State.

Post high school (the price and availabilty of Oly in a keg was not to be trifled with), we moved onto the beer they named a mountain after.

Can't wait to get to town for OR next week and add chalk to the route! 

Does anybody know where all the high school girls climb at?

Probably just coincidence, but I'm pretty sure the OP does.

It's OK everybody.  As soon as I fill my water bottle up I'm starting up with a fresh bag of chalk.  I'll have it ready to go for all the weekend traffic.

Dang. There's only 2 people I know who do the ridge like that, you and Chuck Norris. Style points! 

Don't worry everyone, I took a full bottle of liquid chalk up there today and marked the route so everyone can find it...hopefully that will help speed up the hoards of people we saw up there today. 

Rob, that one dumb, asshole (my friends saw him on Pentapitch earlier in the day) at Industrial Wall fucked it up and now drinking and climbing is on the radar with a whole bunch of righteous tee-totalers weighing in. "Brian in SLC" will remember the sober guy a few years ago who fell leading the upper pitch of the GWI at the NSTGWISB party and broke his leg--while the rest of us were guzzling booze in the hot tub. The "drunk" rescue party went up there and retrieved his tool and screw. And helped with the descent.
