First Ascent of the East Arete of Burkett Needle "Repeat Offender"

I am pleased to report the First Ascent of the East Arete of Burkett Needle. As this was Dave and I's second First Ascent on the Needle we thought "Repeat Offender" was an appropriate name.

Trip Report with a few pictures: link

As this expedition was financially supported by the Copp Dash Inspire Award as well as the Mazamas we will be putting together a slide show and video of the climb. As we would like to save the best material for the show you likely noticed I didnt put too many pictures in the trip report. That said if you like what you see make sure to come to a slide show!

Lastly many thanks to the Copp-Dash Inspire Award and the Mazama Expedition Committee for supporting our trip, Dieter Klose for support and allowing us to climb while the Icecap was “closed for the season” and to our pilot Wally from Temsco Air.
