The tap is turning on BIG TIME this week....I think it all will be changed in a week or so. Bring skis! That said, the low elevation snow is unlikely to be normal. Seems like the dumpage will be mostly above 4k.

We may add features later so you can also sign up to get the Gear sale or other things, but let me know what you want. This is a community first and will continue to be. We not trying to sell you anything, but I sure would love to hear about your trip in the mountains. BTW, if anyone has experience on how to set up an entity as a non-profit, that is the plans we have for this site and community.

I second what Albert said. Do Baker and Rainier at the first available window this year (avy dependent obviously) so probably in April or May this year with the low snow pack. Be flexible with flights and timing, you'll have more luck with partners and maybe they can pick you up at SeaTac! If August is still preferred, consider doing something with a small glacier and some easy rock climbing... Eldorado Peak and vicinity, or Shuksan for example. You can practice glacier skills and some more technical climbing. OR, if you can afford the plane ticket and find a partner, go to Alaska and climb some of the easy glaciated peaks they have there, like White Princess in the Delta Range which can be accessed from the road. They are having a good winter up north so August could still be reasonable. Pretty sure I was in there in late July or early August and it was doable.

Wendy Thompson Hut a few nights ago....

I created a new application that lets you sign up to get a email with a clickable links to all the new TRs for the month. So if you forget we exist you'll be reminded and you'll see all the new TRs. I tested it and it looks good so far. You can opt out and I've tested that. It will also include whatever I have in the "Annoucements" tab. I may put an add in there for AAI occasionally....maybe not...but it could happen so don't be mad it it does. Its cool feature! Let me know if you see anything weird with it. Its on the right sidebar. It disappears after you sign up. I put other logic into it too. When you sign up you won't immediately get an email, but I'll add something right now to let you know you're signed up. The actual email only goes out at the end of the month. But that will be it! No other BS, I promise. I don't want BS either. This is so cool, i'm having fun with this crap!

Trip: No Where - Dog route Trip Date: 03/09/2026 Trip Report: Just testing Gear Notes: chewing gum Approach Notes: via the internet

you're hired

I can't really help with anything related to coding, but I can buy beer!

Impressive @Lucas Ng!

Really loved reading this one! Appreciate the introspection thrown in, very much can relate to the feelings you express.

30L challenge ultra 400 500g daypack just finished. Metal G-hooks, sternum adjusters, and shoulder adjusters. super bomber and super stoked

Now that I'm standing on the stilts of AI, I'm making quick progress in remediating some very complex issues that have plagued the site. One has been a problem with new registrations not recieving their registration email so they could sign in. I believe I have it fixed. Try it if you've been frustrated before. The amount of things I fixed just today on this site is amazing. I can't actually believe it myself, but this is where we are at. And its going to get even better. I have plans. I'm looking for accomplices.

If you want to use the search function you'll need to create an ID and login. I had to turn that off because bots were messing with forum and kept getting performance usage alerts. So just create an account and be logged in if you want to use that function. Thanks!

Thanks for writing. Yes, all 4 mountaineering sleeping bags are listed here: 1) Feathered Friends, 2) Marmot CWM -40, 3) Marmot Women's Ouray, 4) Kammsport Down Bag. Thank you very much for allowing me to list them. Hope they sell. Yours Sincerely, Lee 360-292-0736, office01.sc@gmail.com

Here are some more photos of the Marmot Ouray Sleeping Bag. It weighs 4.25 pounds in the stuffsack. the length is 78 inches from toe to collar. it looks like its not a long. what do you think? thanks for letting me know. Thank you very much. High Altitude Mountaineering Regards. -Lee

Here are some more photos of the FF Sleeping Bag. Weighs 4.5 pounds in the stuffsack. length is 7 feet from the toe to the collar. its a long. What do you think? Thanks for letting me know. High Altitude Mountaineering Regards, Lee

Ok great. where are you located? I live south of Seattle. if you are around here somewhere we could meet up and you could try them on. or, want me to ship them to you? thanks for letting me know

I’d be happy to take em off of your hands and give them a try

Turns out climbing ropes make pretty bomber webbing for bag handles. Might have a long future as colorful webbing options.

I’m sure we can do this

Yes that is a current bug. I need to do analysis on how to best drop the non-TRs. I’ve also started on a TR fixing tool admins and mods can use to fix broken TRs that are missing info or are incorrectly formatted. But to do that I need a vision of what a “correct TR” looks like. Then I can use that as a basis for fixing all of them or at least selecting them for corrections

ooooh....would be cool to be able to sort search results by date. Right now if I do a user search, seems like it doesn't organize perfectly by date. Also was able to do a workaround for the TR only returns by author by searching for a username and then putting "TR" in the keyword box. Have I really put in 195 TRs over the years?!
