... As the weather was deteriorating, we abandoned the climb and abseiled off. Due to work commitments, we could not mount another attempt. The east face still provides a bold and challenging line of high technical difficulty. ANDREW BLACK, Scottish Mountaineering Club Tawoche, East Face in Winter, 1989. Jeff Lowe and John Roskelley made a brilliant and difficult new route on the 4000-foot-high east face of Tawoche. There was comparatively little ice and snow this winter, which doubtless made the climb harder. It was bitter cold, with only two hours of sun in the morning. The lower 1500 feet ...
... summit (7161 meters, 23,494 feet) there were moderately steep slopes of wind-packed snow. I arrived on top at 4:30 P.M. A nearly full moon lit my way back to the ice cave, which I got to at midnight. I finished the arduous descent the next day. JEFF LOWE Kwangde, Winter Ascent.

... my rules. As remarked above, the diversity of the routes is remarkable, from Nabisco Wall in Yosemite (soloed by John Bachar) to Belligerence, a 36 pitch mixed route on Mt.

A climber driving the Banff-Jasper highway will not miss the huge north face of Mount Temple. To Jeff Lowe and me the center rib, attempted by Abrons, Eberl and Roberts in 1969 (A.A.J., 1970, 17:1, pp. 82-3), which leads almost directly to the summit, seemed especially attractive. Yet the thought of climbing under the 200-foot ice cliff ...

The route begins in the center of the north face and goes directly up into the huge dihedral just to the right of the crest. We then followed gendarmesto the rim, the largest being climbed from the east. NCCS ...
... relief, temperatures and precipitation have produced high-quality ice climbs in tremen- dous and perhaps unparalleled concentration. As a late season note, Roman Dial of Fairbanks free-soloed Keystone Green Steps (V, 650 feet, 200 meters) in a little less than two hours. The first ascent in 1976 by Jeff Lowe and John Wei- land took three days. ANDREWR. EMBICK, M.D. Washington-Cascade Mountains Burgundy Spire, North Face, Winter Ascent.
