Full report by Dougald MacDonald with photos and comments from the ascensionists on Climbing.comJapanese climbers Yasushi Okada and Katsutaka ?Jumbo? Yokoyama have completed one of the great unclimbed walls in North America: the south face of Mt. Logan, Canada's highest peak.In early May, the two men climbed the 2,500-meter (8,200') wall alpine-style over three long days, and then continued to the east summit of Logan at 5,900 meters (19,357'), before descending via the extremely long east ridge.The Japanese route climbs the steepest wall on Logan's broad south face, to the right of the Warbler Ridge. The face had attracted many suitors over the past two decades, including the Alaska-Yukon ace Jack Tackle, who attempted the route twice over a 10-year span, getting about 3,000 feet up the wall both times.Full report by Dougald MacDonald with photos and comments from the ascensionists on Climbing.com Diesen Artikel inkl.
