    Yeah, we were really surprised at the bug situation. We all brought bug nets and deet, but never really used them much. The bugs were about as bad as the Cascades in July/August. I'm still confused about it, maybe just a good season, or possibly reverse sandbagging by Alaskans to keep people out (but I doubt it). I think we just got really really lucky.

    What a beautiful place, thanks for sharing. Was it very buggy? I've heard horror stories of Alaska mosquitoes but you don't mention it or have bug nets...

    Sadly there is some truth in this. Banging around on clean granitic rock for a few days in the Cascades without another soul in sight was definitely a perk.

    That's quite a set of perched blocks along the side and top of that lower, scimitar-like feature. Maybe solid for now...

    I am also interested in climbing Mount Rainier potentially Sept 6,7,8 timeframe if the weather is cooperative and route conditions continue to be favorable. My Cascades experience includes Mt Adams, St. Helens, Hood, South Sister, Thielsen, McLoughlin, Shasta(attempt), and the Enchantments(Colchuck mini-glacier). I also have no experience on Mount Rainier. Danieldbattin@yahoo.com

    It is a little known fact that Darin develops routes so that he doesn't have to see other people when climbing high quality rock
  14. dberdinka
    That’s a lot of people. I think had I been in the middle of seven parties climbing on top of one another I would have collected my gear, muttered something under my breathe, unclipped and jumped off. Glad the younger generations are not as antisocial as myself.

    It’s just me reading the TRs 1000s of times

    Wow what an outing!

    I'm also looking for such a crew! I'll DM you my contact information. Unfortunately, I'm primarily a slave to the M-F work week, so unless I block days off in advance, it's mostly weekends for me.

    Was noticing that recent TRs are seeing many hundreds, if not many thousands of views in a few days. Feels like for the last decade it’s been way less than that, so what’s going on? Is cc.com about to experience a Renaissance of community, culture adventure and creative writing? Or have bots really replaced human beings and it’s just a 1000 different AI start-ups scrubbing the Internet for data?

    Luna!
  22. geosean started following [TR] Seefar Peak, Brooks Range, The Long Way - East Gullies From Marsh Fork To Dalton Highway 07/28/2025
  23. geosean
    We just walked through everything with our shoes on for the entire trip. We never had dry feet while we were hiking. You stop and take long lunches with your socks off to dry out your skin, then again when you get to camp. We took plastic bags to line our shoes with so that you can walk around camp with wet shoes on and dry feet. It works really well. This experience has really changed my attitude about river crossings and wet feet.

Who shows up? What do they do? How do they manage a situation? Do you have to pay for a rescue? Will a helicopter come? Who is in charge? How will they find me? Wilderness rescue, search and rescue and mountain rescue are complicated topics. This is because they don't fit easily into one box. It's different everywhere you go. In this seminar, we will discuss how rescue operations work locally, how they work in other jurisdictions, and how they work internationally. In addition to that, we'll talk about tne complicated politics of search and rescue operations in a wilderness setting. KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: AVALANCHE AWARENESS This program is designed to introduce winter backcountry enthusiasts to avalanche terrain assessment, winter snowpack analysis and rescue technique. It also provides you a venue to talk frankly with our expert guides on how to create a reasonable margin of safety when climbing, skiing, or snowboarding on avalanche prone slopes
  25. John_Scurlock started following Baker River slabs
  26. John_Scurlock
    I was coming down the Baker River yesterday afternoon and passed by the slab feature shown in the photograph. I've seen it many times before but this time decided to grab a quick snap of it. It's located on the north side of the river at approximately 48.82863, -121.43918 if you want to google earth it. I'm sorry to say that it would be a hellish ~seven miles of vicious travel up the river from the trail end at Sulphide Creek. The view looks to the north. This is on the south-southeasterly trending ridge that extends from Mineral Mountain to the Baker River. Has anyone heard of anyone visiting or otherwise investigating it? From the air it looks much like something you'd see in Darrington. The photograph was taken from 48.80671, -121.43873, while at an altitude of about 6400'. The slab extends below the bottom of the frame, but not all the way to the valley bottom.

    Wow, quite the adventure!! Did you just plunge in and cross with your footwear or did you make changes for each crossing?

  29. Josepi
    Hi yall, I'm currently a sophomore at Montana state, and I spend my summers and winter breaks in Oregon. I have multiple years of general mountaineering experience, comfortable leading ice up to wi4/m4, and trad up to 5.8. Looking for someone who I can push myself with ideally similar skill level or better, and lives in Oregon, Bozeman area, or both. A few goals I got this winter are the Reid headwall or something off illumination rock and just climb some ice up in Washington or off the Elliot glacier moraine If anybody is interested don't hesitate to shoot me a PM! Super stoked to climb ice this winter up in hyalite!!!!

    Good luck with that. That FA was put up by a badass.

    They really should deploy the military to do this selective enforcement of the law. I believe that is what the American people wanted when they elected a convicted felon and gave him a mandate to prohibit self expression on free time.
  32. olyclimber
    Different people! Not to say anything of Mr Ng’s ability or potential. Maybe we all want to spot the next jeans wearing Cheamclimber, but I think it best just to encourage and help out the youth who clamor for the hills in our little community here. No sense in saddling expectations or projecting where someone is going. He will find his own way, and I hope his motivations are always his own. I do enjoy the TRs! Thanks Lucas!
  33. korengalois
    Does Lucas remind any of the Cascade Climbers elders of Colin when he was young?
  34. bedellympian
    That looks great. Always wanted to get back up there for something like this. Way to make it happen and thanks for the notes on logistics!
