Access was bad, but our 13 hour ordeal with terror creek was worse. Sky and Ross were able to go back and cut it down to a more reasonable 7 hours. Ha, I hate being the weekend schwack bitch instead of the sleek mid-week corn Scythe.

Nice sunset pics.
-
Way to go! The ne face looks better than when we skied it. Thanks for the pics too. It brings back some interesting memories. I'll have to get back up there for some reminders eventually. Maybe next year...
-
Too bad I was too beat from Sherman/baker to join you, but the idea of 4 hours of sleep in my car and another round didn't sound appealing. I'm glad Cyril was able to suck it up and I'm sure you got some awesome pics. I really wanted to hit that though. I guess I'll just have to wait until next year. Man, this weekend ruled...

I'm jealous Ross/sky, but you know that, especially since we were only feet away the week before (at least we got to ski the otherside of degenhardt). Being a weekend warrior I usually find that I am on the failed trips and come a nice wednesday-thursday comes the successful push. Ha. Great work nonetheless. Heck, you had good snow and all. Here is a picture of the route from mount fury. I've added some names and heights. Since we were up on fury, I've had this line on the top of my list. The lack of traffic (who climbs the degenhardt glacier?) and the difficulty of the approach make this a quite the accomplishment. I wish I could've been there, but I sold my soul to work.

Description: Scot'teryx lived in the jurassic period. It was a fast runner, traveled in groups, but disappeared mysteriously. Most consider from recent tracks discovered that it became extinct due to it's 'fear' and would trample over its own children and family to escape the monsterous mice of the day...

Tele nut, there was a subaru and a red explorer. Both were part of our groups. What did you do up there?
Meganerd, we climbed degenharht to within a few feet and skied back down to camp. Storms came in, so we hightailed out of there early.

I just returned from a trip up there. Ha. It wouldn't be the snow I'd worry about but the schwackage up to it! The snow begins just below tree line. We found really rotton conditions while we were there, but given a week of freeze/thaw it should be good to go. As for obstacles, there's a few. As for me explaining how to get through them. Well? Follow the foot path as best you can, when you hit the creek (you can just see the peaks from here), go straight up with a slight right veer, and when you see the cliffs you will have to make your best guess to get through, but there are ways that don't entail climbing. We came down this way
. My only other advice, don't go to far right or too far left and bring gloves. If you see a coat, I'm sure one of our group will pay a bounty with brew. If you see a pair of glasses too. Ha. Have fun. I know I did... -
No (not a popular trailhead). Not a good place to hitch a ride. Once kayaking, we nearly had to walk the 17 miles back to our other car when we (umm, I) forgot the keys...
-
Nice pics. The west face of the north ridge is a nice and moderate ski (I've done what you did a few times)! Stormy Monday Couloir is quite a bit steeper than 30 to 35 though and is a rather involved ski descent with a 40-50 degree snow. There is rock section in the center also.
-
Nice TR. This kind of stuff is much better than the usual reticent hardman chestbeating.
I like to see any TR's, even the chestbeating ones. Hell, I imagine I'm guilty of the occasional chestbeat here and there, even though I try not too. Lately a lot more TR's are being posted on CC.com and it's great to see a cross section of what people are getting out there and doing.
Guilty of hijacking your tr twice. Sorry, good TR.
-
There is a pull out on the right. There used to be a nice camp I used to stay at down next to the downey.
-
Looks like a nice paddle.
Yep, it is. This area is where I learned to boat...mostly on the suiattle. Downey creek is a nice kayak only if it isn't choked with wood. I would only go if you're interested in more walking than kayaking; more exploring and scenery.

The trail is only a couple of hundred feet beyond the bridge. I can't believe that bridge was washed out.

My dream week? This week right now! Ha. My day dreaming here at work is going to be hard pressed to equal the stupendous week you are going to have this week in the north cascades. So...go get it.
Dream week:
Southern Pickets

Ha. Ha. Sorry. I look forward to your pics. I had to defend myself against the infidel though (dru really isn't canadian, but shhhhh...I didn't tell you) and I had to dish out some stoke to put some perspective to how great a climb the ice cliff was, especially on a beautiful day...
-
that pic is tilted 45 too.
How dare you question the integrity of my photographs! I would never 'tilt' as you say (pulling off the gloves). I only frame the photo in a way that reflects the scene in a manner that is most appealing...
-
What is this, an Inquisition! I give you some stoke and you give me some smack. Where's the love? FYI. I had a helmet on, my good looks are too scary for others to see. I think JoshK just likes to flaunt his.
-
Ha, I new someone would mention that. It was only for looks anyhow...
-
That was a great climb. Here is some stoke.

Schwacking
We need a devil's club Graemlin! ...edit to add, someone will have to fix the link cause I can't get it to work. -
The white Salmon would be a good alternative to get down from the north side, but is still a glacier, though not very technical. As for the ascent, Stormy offers a lot of rockfall, so if you do climb that then do it early in the morning. The Adams is a nice climb too, but again watch for debris. The road is open to the trailhead right now. Good luck. There are many routes you can ski, but for your first time consider the adams (if you climb it. There is a descent schrund right now you may have to rap) or the white salmon.

Oh yea, there is a way. This river can fluxuate a lot but is definately something you could portage. There are many logs that cross the creek. I've kayaked this creek twice by carrying up and I know that there are logs that cross the river. Watch if you hike across it. You don't want to get swept down, but during the summer this creek shrinks drastically and wouldn't be bad to cross. Go for it. I posted a pic on another thread like this looking at the river in the past. Here it is again.

Ha. I did the same thing in another area this weekend. I felt like a champ. We were three seperate groups and they all followed the one who'd been there most. Oh, man - classic.
Once, I ended up nearly spending the night the first time I went up the sulfide that way. It snowed 3ft on us. Man that fun...
-
Right on! I was just planning to go up there. Ha. Great minds think alike I guess. This year is going fast. I look forward to the slide show.

You'll get a few grand. Where are you going in? Tieton, conrad or goat lake...
