... a pedestal, a large sinuous crack goes to the summit block. Another crack 30 feet to the left provided a free and an aid pitch to the summit block. They did not climb the rotten summit block but went around to the right and descended. NCCS IV, F7, Al. JEFF LOWE Arizona Superstition Mountain, West Face. From the vicinity of Blue Bird Mine Kris Walker and I approached the obvious Flatiron Buttress by hiking up the Syphon Draw trail. The route we climbed on February 27, 1971 ascends the obvious prow.

I hardly ever turn down ajob that pays me to go climb- ing. The team consisted of Jeff Lowe with his wife Teri Ebel ...
... leads. Fortunately they soon came to an end; the climb is only partly flawed by their presence. We carried 25 nuts and 25 pins and found we could have used more nuts, though through the upper headwall we used a number of thin pins. NCCS V, F9 or FlO. JEFF LOWE Mount Russell, Southwest Buttress. On September 1, Gary Colliver, TM Herbert, and I climbed a steep crack in the south-facing western-most buttress of Mount Russell. Two horrifying cracks are apparent when the buttress is viewed from the western side of Whitney-Russell Col. We chose the less horrifying ...
... because most alpine routes require some mixed climbing, the development of waterfall ice climbing had a more immediate impact on the sort of mixed ground being climbed in the mountains. It was only later that climbers began to seek out hard mixed ground at the crags. Thus in 1974 in the Canadian Rockies Jeff Lowe and Mike Weis applied the lessons learned on waterfall ice climbs such as the first ascent of Colorado's Bridalveil Falls to set a new standard Suffer Machine, on the Stanley Headwall. The 1991 first ascent of this "unformed" ice route, which involved aid climbing to gain the hanging ice ...

On the limestone cliffs of the Big Horn Mountains in Wyoming I finally finished Wall of Voo Doo with Randy JosephandDennis McCarron ...
... captures my atten- tion for a moment, then the full moon rises over Makalu La. I've seen them all before, but never like this. The big peaks seem benevolent and approachable under the illumination, but quickly it's gone, committed to memory and Ko- dachrome Two days earlier, Jeff Lowe and I had reached the top of an elegant ice tunnel, 1600 feet high at angles up to 80". The ice was superb from bottom to top. The sixth pitch was my lead. It was obvious that to reach the next belay situated above a long steep section of ...
... We therefore (ambitiously) decided to put together a special expedition with physio- logical research as its primary objective. The design of the expedition was very unusual. First there was a group of six highly experienced high-altitude climbers including John Evans (deputy leader-climbing), David Jones, Chris Kopczynski, Jeff Lowe, Glenn Porzak, and Michael Weis. Next there were six "climbing scientists;" these were all strong climbers, but in addition, they were M.D .'s with an interest in high-altitude physiology. The group comprised Steven Boyer, David Graber, Peter Hackett, Christopher Pizzo ...
... traversed sections ot flat crest (III, 5.8). We descended the ridge by two rappels interspersed with belayed climbing. JOEKELSEI I68 THE AMERICAN ALPINE JOURNAL 1995 Colorado Oc~q~~ss~~ Colordo. On the frozen waterfalls that coat the limestone cliff bands above Vail, Jeff Lowe made what may be the most difficult ice climb yet achieved. He has written a full article about this which appears earlici in this Jowl-nnl. BImk Cqlon of the Gonnison.

... 1000 feet above the bergschrund of the couloir. After six pitches it ends at a small notch in the east ridge, just east of the Molar Tooth. It is probably the hardest ice route in the Tetons, though there are other early-season possibilities on the north side of the east ridge. JEFF LOWE Wyoming-Wind River Range Orion's Reflection. The great canyon walls of the Wind River Range contain many spectacular features seldom seen by the climber, but per- haps nowhere are there more surprises than in the southeastern portion. Glimpses from the Bears Ears Trail in past years tempted me to investi- ...
