If anyone would like to see some good TRs and not a bunch of bitching blathering bashing punk bullshit, I recommend going elsewhere like Splitboard, Teletips, BigLines, anywhere other than here. Thanks for wasting my time TGR, C-YA!!!
    You forgot this one. http://www.alpinezone.com/. Never been there myself but I've heard the moderation is top notch.

    Don't let the browbeating get to you.

    Why is he getting an "awaiting moderation" message when he tries to post the full TR?

    It was worth reading the report anyway. Just being there would be rad. Stoked.

    [Regarding the latest Saga: not that it needs defending, but the owner of splitboard.com forum has posted lots of TR's here, which add to the content value of TGR, which adds to viewer experience, which adds to the advertising value of the site. What goes around in the community should come around. It is all good]

    You should not have to double/triple/etc. post to share some stoke. The web is filled with links back to original source, get over it! Fortunately most have positive vibes on this thread, but it only takes one sometimes. Awesome stoke D, worth sharing for sure!

    Sometimes the sausage crystals in the crap filter automoderate on different frequencies.

    Fairly glaring first post spam links and, I believe, assloads of images are blocked until someone hits five posts or something.
    On a really obvious spam post, mods see a 'moderated' tag and the thread isn't otherwise visible.
    But after a few posts, a bunch of images posted can be seen by mods but the tag doesn't show, yet the filter catches them.
    That leaves mods not knowing they aren't showing until somebody says something, usually the op.
    It's a glitch that I've now seen twice. As soon as I saw dusty said they were awaiting moderation, the pics were approved so they'd show.

    Yeh Thanks Splat. Commonlaw, I'm still looking/waiting for the second half of this TR to show up. I'm beginning to have faith though. I think the bleeding has stopped.

    ...and I'll know how to "Copy and Paste" posts next season.

    Hang in there Dusty. I have no idea why your thread attracted the troll brigade but I, for one, hope that you continue to post here, in spite of the rather rude introduction.

    Hey splat, the first half re-posted twice over. The second half is still out there in cyberspace somewhere. It was put up Yesterday around 2:00 PM if that helps. Thanks again for your help.

    Damn, dusty, my mod functions were messed up yesterday, today there's a short circuit in the matrix. Not sure I can pull that second half out of the void...unless you want to try to post it again. It should come up with no problem now.

    Continued, finally

    ...and now that I feel a little practiced up, it's onto the big boys! Starting with

    wait for it







    The Tusk!


    our first obstacle




    and we're off!




    To the top where Dean Cummings rope still hangs rotting on the rocks


    and it's just a little steep


    or is it just me?


    Damage done (The Tusk took one knee out of six)


    F-n STOKED!!!

    The Tusk, 1900' N facing ramp of 50-60 degree vertical pitch

    Then back to camp to dry out some gear


    and off to DIMOND!!! (4000' at 55 degrees W facing fear of God)


    where we met our first obstacle


    and Eric's foot found free air and space under the bridge :shock:


    but he pushed on


    and mission aborted/crevasse abstraction narrowly averted

    YES!

    Time to climb!


    and climb


    Do Not look back, Never Look Back!


    until you're over the top (3.5 hours of booting straight up later!)


    where it's time to cheese it up


    Oh Sh*t, this is it/last chance


    Dropping




    and Stoked to be at the bottom and ALIVE!!!


    our lines over the Bergschrund


    our hike up in blue and ride down in red


    Back to my friends base camp for a celebratory beer


    and then party at the Rendezvous Lodge (every bar should have a lit up Heli out the back window)


    THEN... then it was time to cheat my way up to the next monster

    METEORITE! 3000' W facing 54-57degrees of goodness

    Looking down


    or trying to anyways


    and there goes our support

    that's Alaska Snowboard Guides. They are a brand new Heli operation this season and if you ever get a chance to go Heli-riding in Valdez, Alaska... Go with them!

    You too might get this


    Well, that plum wore me out. And, my igloo has been devestated by the sun and turned into "The Deathstar"


    'til next time, C-YA!

    Awesome TR (and I could care less about the original post being a link.. in particular given the folks that complain about that never even post TRs themselves). Nice work!

    ...and given that systembloweroff has been here since...wow 2010...it's pretty sad that all he can do is hate on someone posting some top-notch stoke while sounding like he was one of the founding fathers of backcountry skiing.

    i too hope AK dusky continues to post here. those are some of the most incredible pics i've seen this spring, and there have been many incredile pics around here lately.

    and that 'bloweroff gets back to the meds he seems to need. peace.

    systemadvresblows has been here longer than you.

    He generally means well, but can come across as a prick.

    I am stoked that this TR is here now. It's awesome to say the least, and I love the climbing pics. I have no problem picturing myself riding this terrain. Climbing it is a whole other story for me.
