Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knows of any on sight ascents of the Totem Pole since Monique Forestier's ascent of the Free ROute in January 2003.

I lead both pitches of the route on sight on Dec 21 04, and I've been wondering ever since. There wasn't a speck of chalk on the entire route except under the big alcove on the 2nd pitch, which leads me to believe my ascent was the first (of any style) of the 04/05 summer season.

Thanks,

Mark

    Mark, I think you are probably right, the Totem Pole is lucky to get one ascent a year. Nice one.
