Tickets - $10 each - Available in October CLIMBING FILM TOUR is back for its 5th season with an awesome selection of short films celebrating the global climbing community. Climbing Film Tour is a unique platform for climbers and filmmakers around the world to share their stories with the community. Each year, films are submitted and selected by our Vertical Life climbing team to go on tour with screenings in hundreds of gyms, and cinemas. Join us for a journey around the world. This season, we’ll follow Ian Elliott, a 72-year-old Australian rock climber defying age stereotypes as he ascends a grade 28/7c route just before his 70th birthday. Kai Lightner, a 12-time national climbing champion, against the backdrop of Jamaica and their emerging climbing community. Meet up with Freya, Leo Houlding’s daughter, who uses climbing as a practice to lean into discomfort and fear to help navigate her neurodiversity and harness its strengths. You’ll be on the edge of your seat in Cedar Wright’s film “Dropping Molly”, following Molly Mitchell’s Roller Coaster Journey to climb “Crank-It”, one of Colorado’s most dangerous routes. We’ll take you north to the ephemeral Scottish land of mixed climbing with Fay and Line and then meet up with Québécois/ Australian Jacques Beaudoin climber and the effort behind a hard trad first ascent up a thin crack in The Gardens of Stone Conservation Area of Newnes Plateau, NSW, Australia. And then, well, a film about Jackson Marvell. Join us for a journey around the world.

Hi all, I'm planning to climb Mt hood in July and would love to have a partner or two to team up. About me: I have about a year of mountaineering experience and have taken several courses through the Colorado Mountain Club. I have climbed a few couloirs, up to 55 deg, done some class 3-4 scrambling, rapelling, etc. I also climbed Mt Adams solo about the same time last year. If you want to know my qualification more in depth, feel free to ask. I do not, unfortunately, have any crevasse experience to date, which is why I want to climb Hood as an intermediate before training for and climbing Rainier next year. Also why a partner would be nice. Availability: I have every weekend available in July as of now. I also have July 19th onward free until August, including weekdays. I know weekdays are ideal for Hood, but also that maybe pushing late into the season? Planning to do more trip planning over the coming month. I would be flying in from CO. If anyone is interested please let me know! Thanks!

Agreed, but in this case I suspect an editor who lives out of state and doesn't care or know anything about Bellingham?
-
True--but I assume the Bellingham Herald still has an editor who reviews articles before publication?
-
She must have used AI and didn’t even bother to read what it gave her before publishing.

It's not local journalism when a rando in Phoenix gets tossed a few bucks to write up something they have absolutely no clue about.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Oh my, if this is the state of local journalism, well, we're in worse shape than I feared. Please please please tell me this was NOT a WWU grad. Kids who can't write good. I scrolled down to her bio. Hard to fathom how writing like this gets past the committee.

Stellar wordsmithing! 😂 https://amp.bellinghamherald.com/news/state/washington/article307907125.html dang, Helena!

I know things are changing fast with the heat but I'm over in the area soon and was hoping for a climb. Thanks for any updates.

The exposed part just beyond had a very thin fixed line on it last year, end of July. Honestly looked like paracord 🤣

Hey Jon! Haven't logged in for ages but now I do and see I'm being talked about. We did the ridge route over to East Fury from Luna col because we thought it looked more interesting. We didn't rope up for the "crux tower" but we did rope up for a ~25-foot step a bit further along toward Fury as the exposure was significant so consequences would have been high. I don't remember it being particularly chossy and rubbly except for the last bit, which was reasonably low angle. We returned via #1 as we didn't want to redo the chossy bit and it also seemed like it would be easier and faster for the return trip.

Transition between glaciers was just a steep lil snow step. Doable, just annoying. Had to take ski's off for it but still snow-covered when we did it. klawatti wasn't fully skiable(photo below) -

Fairweather replied to Fairweather's topic in Mount Rainier NP
Haha. Yes, very foreshortened. I think the only place to see the "whole" mountain is from Beljica above Lake Christine. Not sure you can get there anymore as the road is closed? From inside the park, there are some views from below Round Pass--but the mountain is basically just a long cliff/ridge. A traverse from Lake Allen to Lake George would be VERY interesting! These are the best I can do from yesterday: -
