    Can't self-register

    in Mount Rainier NP

    Posted

    I never registar, especially for little T. I climb everything in one day...I guess I have a valid excuse now [smile] Seriously, I go to the mountains to get away from regulations. Dumb crap like this bothers me. People who don't climb telling climbers how it is gonna be. You wouldn't believe how many joes at work said, "I can't believe they let climbers but themselves in danger...we have to pay for it...what do they risk their lives for...there should be laws to stop people from doing dangerous stuff." Blah, blah. [big Drink] I am thinking the JB's need to turn the tv off cause that is the cause of the US turning to crap. Just my opinion. Maybe I just think we are selling choice under the guise that creating more laws will protect our belief that the world can be perfect as long as you follow these rules. Law 10 billion 565 thousand 229.90 --- Don't walk on the left side of the sidwalk. There is a 155 dollar fine. 3000 new law enforcers will implement direct intervention by seizing and ticketing any violators. Repeat violators will be imprisioned for life. [Wazzup] Oh wow, I wrote all that. Hmm. How do you say, "I will get off my stool now" [big Grin] ...

    Accident on Mt. Rainier

    in Climber's Board

    The news is going to eat this one up. I wish they would just stick to talking about cats stuck in trees, etc. Those are one of the few things that they are getting good at. When it comes to other critters, though, I think they have some room for improvement. [big Grin]

     

    On a serious note. I'm glad everyone is ok...jason...

    Also curious about the NF of Tieton Peak

    27TheLadle.JPG , which ben Josh and I skied this past month and SW face of Dome which we skied last august (don't ask). Tieton avg 50+ sustained and dome was also 50+ because it was late season. Thanks...jason hummel...

    Coleman Headwall ski descent

    The Manfredi brothers and Charlie Berg skied the

    Coleman Headwall on saturday. I had family

    commitments... so I wasn't able to go...Ben manfredi, josh and I had been up there two times this year and turned away because of ice and avi. They reported sustained firm and breakable corn to 50 degrees on the upper 2500 vertical and avy prone sluff corn on the lower 500 vertical. Highlights included a 50+ degree skirt above a bergschrud near the top and a mandatory 10ft jump over a bergschrud near the bottom. Ben tells

    me it was sketchy. Email him for further details:

    benmantele@yahoo.com

     

    Anyway, I hear rumors that it was skied in the early 90's. Anyone know the details? Alpine? Tele? Rope? No rope? Any info on more recent descents? Just curious.

    Adams glacier condition?

    in Southern WA Cascades

    Posted

    Yea, I was up there with Ben and just got my slides back. The glacier did not look as well as it did last year, not even close. I wouldn't ski it anyway. I am sure you will have to climb some vertical ice and cross several crevasses that from our view next to stormy looked to span the entire glacier. I would climb the NFNWR. It looks absolutely awesome. We've never seen it look as good as it does this year. Hope this helps. Oh there is 3 to 5 miles of road depending on which way you access the NF...jason hummel...

    Feelings of Guilt

    in Mount Rainier NP

    Carrying a phone or not is a matter of choice. For some, technology impedes on that escape. For others, their ideology is different, and cell phones allow a sense of security not otherwise obtainable in the wilderness. True, someone could get hurt and you could save their lives. That should be enough, but for some reason, I for one, am still reluctant to carry a cell phone.

    Don't bring a rope and if it looks like you need one, turn around. On the other hand, bring one and you may not need it. In that case, leave it down on the ridge and pick it up on the way down. My experience has been no, but I've seen people up there crawling on a 30 degree slope, scared out of their minds! Different levels of competence require different approaches to the question, "...is there any reason to lug a rope." There are a few big crevasses up there, especially during the late season. Having your sweetie using a rope would be good practice and a chance to show your stuff off...jason Hummel...

    Michael, I think I saw that guy up there once. He was on his fifth try then. There was an ice crust over powder and about 15 feet of rock. I saw him back off three times. That was a sketchy ski descent and climb. It is amazing how different a route is year to year...jason hummel...

    Sleeping at Paradise

    in Mount Rainier NP

    Posted

    I received a warning notice last time I parked at paradise for not having an overnight permit or something. I go climbing to get away from that crap. I'll pay to park but they don't need to know where I am going. Information is only used to restrict and control. The capitalization of park lands sucks. Build more shitters and parking lots and they will come. More permits, more fees, more restrictions, less access, more people, paved trails, and ticket rangers...jason...ps sorry for the rant [Mad][big Drink]

    Bike To Work Day

    in Climber's Board

    Posted

    Yea, I rode. A few people at work said, "Hey, it is bike to work day, can I take your bike for a spin around the parking lot?" I didn't think there was a bike-to-work day. Hmm. How far do people ride every day? I ride 14 miles per day. Just curious...jason...

    Yearly climbing permit for rainier

    in Climber's Board

    Posted

    quote:
    They call it a yearly (or annual) pass because it lasts a year from the date you purchase it.

    Just like a snow park permit. [hell no] Fishing lisence. Thax for the info though....jason...ps 25 dollars doesn't make sense. Anyone else verify that. And I'm not talking about a Mount Rainier NPS entrance pass... [Embarrassed]

    Glissading Mishaps

    in Climber's Board

    Posted

    While climbing down, I thought it would be a great idea to slide down on a rock. I found a nice flat one and went for it. I didn't slide, but shuffled down a ways and ended up stuck in the middle of an icy snow slope in tennis shoes. I couldn't stand, couldn't climb (too steep), and the only way was down. The rock was too big to cut steps. In effect, I was screwed. Straightening my sunglasses, I let go of the rock and went for a hell of a spill. I barely missed the boulders, my sunglasses weren't so lucky.

     

    Another incident involved my step mom. She was glissading down Adams in lycras and shorts. My old man was standing on his skis watching her go down, screaming "Weeeee Weeeeeeeeee". As she went by, he noticed two streaks of red. Unfortunatly, he couldn't stop her until it was too late. To make a long story short, she spent two months out of work and had to go to the hospital every day to get the bandages changed. I guess the lesson learned here is, wear ski pants...
