He's inside your head

In the summer of 2014 Logan and I found ourselves running from a forest fire in the Eastern Cascade Mountains. The fire that cut our climbing trip short was part of the biggest year for forest fires in Washington State history. After witnessing first hand the sheer destructive power of climate change I was struck by how deeply it affected me. I began to think that if more young people sought out experiences in nature they would be more committed to protecting it in the future. I spent a number of months thinking of ways that I could show these natural places to my generation and inspire them to go have experiences of their own. This project is a starting point for that mission, and so much more."

You almost become a victim of a forest fire (which by the way is not climate change), and it's a profound event, inspiring you to show others of your generation.
Some poor lady becomes the victim of climate change, and in that case it results in you not having nice things.
Explain that to me.
Next I'm sure you'll shoot down Copernicus, and explain that the solar system really does revolve around you.

Looks like these high snow levels are raising the overall level of winter incompetence and unpreparedness. Anyone else get slightly p/o'd when the media refers to rescue operations for unprepared hikers 'climbers needing rescue'?
You deserve nice things, and that woman and her dogs deserve to die.
Happy now?

Paddling the Columbia.

Hard use out there with Uncle Rick?

You guys drive Fords or Chevy's? Or Dodge Ram's?

They did the route a week of two prior to John's thirtieth birthday, and John was showing slides at his party. I think John and Monty simo'ed the route, but not the other two.
Wholly christ I got drunk that night. Stole Monty's beer and puked in front of John's car.

My dad built the sled in the 50's for a trip to the Yukon. It sat in a bag for years till I reassembled it. After that I found someone to supply the glass and build metal props to support the glass.
I bet 3/8 tempered ain't cheap

Was there ever a TR for the Polish Route or just the brief mention in the AAI blog?
Aren't you on the wrong mountain?

just a guess but I think "luck" went to be "look".

Is there another crag in the US that has heavy use in spring and fall, that also rests on public land?
Absolutely none
I was being facetious
-
Grant County doesn't want the land because they hate everybody from outside Grant Co. except when a check is being written. WDFW isn't in the campground business, and State Parks can't afford what they already own.
A sticky wicket that.

and this route, in my mind, was sort of the next level in that venue for us.
My climbing partner and I had the exact same thought last year prior to attempting Ice Cliff Glacier and came very close to a similar situation. We ended up having to do some heinous mixed climbing on the rock between the two cornice gullies to avoid huge chunks falling off that cornice when the weather turned warmer than we expected (we should have known better). Reading your report brings back haunting memories of my own near disaster on that route. I think the hazards of that route are often minimized by reports and guidebooks. That cornice can vary from an easy walk up to death trap depending on conditions.
Thank you for sharing your story and glad to hear you are ok
I don't think a glacier named the Ice Cliff, which claimed Mark Weigelt and involved almost the entire Washington climbing community in the accident and rescue has unknown or minimized risks.
If people are not aware of the dangers, that is certainly not the fault of the web or Fred.

What other sport has no coaching, eh?
Coaches are optional in sport f###ing

My favorite machine there, a '81 Tucker resurrected from the Hyak heap pile. It has a classic Detroit 4-53.
They started making the 4-53 in about 1940, and ended production in the late eighties
