What's happening ya'll? My buddy Chris and I recently had an awesome time on blasting up Mithral on Mt. Russell in the glorious Sierra. Amazing climbing and after dark rappel action! Check out the trip report and photos here www.verticali-culture.blogspot.com

Have a good one and keep going up, Xan

Jealousy. Nice, man.

"This was our first alpine climb, as well as our first trad climb at the 5.10 grade and it had gone off without a hitch"

Props to you guys for sacking up and going for it! Seems like it was quite the adventure. Trundling that big stone must have been pretty sweet as well. My only suggestion is: Shot Blocks are a waste of cash. Just read the ingredients list and make your own analogue for like 3 cents.

Vicarious trip report through the high country, thanks.

here is another TR from a mid November climb up Mithril. We had some lovely winter conditions :) bit.ly/u1vSok
