Hi! I have a lightly used BD Ultralight #4 for sale. It was manufactured in 2017 and still has some life left. $75 includes shipping in the lower 48. Thanks!

Trip: Lindeman, Hanging, and Middle Peaks - via Centre Creek Trip Date: 08/31/2025 Trip Report: Over Labour Day weekend the Chossdogs went to Canada, for the most part. There was a brief portion in the middle of the weekend when on the way to Middle peak we found ourselves lost and seemingly in America, where we learned that it was actually Labor Day weekend instead. This was pretty confusing, since back at camp it was still Labour Day weekend. Nevertheless, we found that the route to Lindeman from Centre creek is well traveled these days, as is the trail down to the delightful camps near Upper Hanging Lake (no fish, unfortunately). The summit of Lindeman is a straightforward Class 3 scramble on good rock. Expect to see a few parties. Things got decidedly scruffier as we traveled to Hanging Peak and especially the final few hundred feet to the summit of Middle Peak. Much choss was encountered, but so was much solitude and there was never a true need for a rope. Helmets, ice axe, and crampons came in handy for ascending the north side of Middle Peak, but it didn't seem a lot worse than some spicy Class 3. There might be other ways to get up it, but they all looked even less savory. Hanging Peak was also some exposed Class 3, but not quite as involved as Middle. Mostly though, this was an amazingly scenic and quiet destination on a busy holiday weekend. I figure may was well spread to word to spread the masses.... Middle and Baker from Lindeman: Scrambling up LIndeman: Shuksan from Lindeman: Border Peaks: The haunted house of the Chilliwack, Slesse: It is important to pace one's chossing. @BrettS adjusting speed on the summit of Lindeman: @BrettS, @Trent, @sepultura, @therunningdog and myself on summit of Lindeman: Perry Creek fire blew up while we were on the summit of Lindeman: Heading down to Upper Hanging Lake: Sunset on Bear: @therunningdog looking at a signpost for directions to Middle Peak: Summit of Middle: This pretty much sums up Middle Peak: You can always count on @BrettS for a photo worthy dive into an alpine lake: Not a bad spot for the dogs to base: Rexford on the hike out: Well hey there, someone was thinking ahead! Gear Notes: ice axe, helmet, crampons Approach Notes: Centre Creek to Upper Hanging Lake

I have been thinking about doing this in a year or so. Is it possible to get a map of the route you guys took?

Thanks for the updates!

Seems like temps are dropping down again on Sunday, so hopefully we will see some ice building.

Ad updated to reflect that the bivy sack sold and price drop on the tent.

Hey Albert_Pynstardt, if you still looking for a Winter alpine/ice/ski partner, I'd definitely be interested. I'll send you a DM.

Hi Josepi, I'd definitely be interested and am also looking for a climbing and ski mountaineering partner(s). I'll send a DM.

Weird language. Government workers certainly do NOT "feed fuel and clothe" the American people. Free markets do. Random thought: Now might be a great time to do some MTB/eMTB poaching along the PCT!

I had no idea this became such a cluster. I remember snowshoeing (it was before my backcountry touring days) up that back in '02 maybe. There were maybe six other parties on the route. Even if I did have skis, it was way too icy the top 500 feet of elevation. I remember we switched to crampons at that point (a "Why don't we bring these just in case?" decision that paid off).

After looking through old notes, I climbed Liberty Ridge on Rainier 42 years ago while taking the Mountaineer Intermediate Climbing Course. Never finished the Intermediate course, but climbed and skied other things.

I'm curious how the NF Mt Hood is shaping up. Please post any observations or conditions reports for Mt Hood here. TIA DPS

I still can't believe they took 2 in Toronto. When they took 3 straight in Houston at the end of the season....I thought, wow. This is unusual.

DM sent.

Thank god I procured 3 of the memberships.

Ha, no. Apologies, just credit for the link. His OnlyFans channel is full and closed to new members.
