As JasonG mentions above ... July is typically too late for descent skiing on Adams ... go early in the season ... watch for road reports on NF-500 and how close you can get to Cold Springs Campground, consider skiing the last mile or two of the road.

Cheers to the admin and mods .... nicely done. Does this mean the end to the jumping, turgid sausage?

Congrats ... nicely done.

Sobo & Larry .. thanks for the photo .. that would be one hell of a stem, I'm assuming even more of a stem than the upper portion of Wildcat Crack

I smell a Dirty Sanchez

Sobo & G2G .. thanks for the update, exactly the sort of feedback I was hoping for. I always chuckled at the name for PoC .. my recollection is a little friendly rivalry between Kerns and Fritz to see who got it first. I guess if something had to go, at least it was a couple of the shorter bolted routes. I'm wondering if it was the entire column or only the portion above the small roof on SM? Obviously this will turn Couch Potato and Entrance Exam into entirely different routes, and I imagine over time will most likely lead to a couple new ones. On a sad note ... fellow Yakimaniac Sam Alder pasted away last week. Sam and I spent hundreds of hours at the Columns back in the early 80's before moving on to bigger and better things in the Alpine. Cragg should remember him.

curious if any of the locals and/or others have any more details? WDFW news release

Awesome !!! ... Congrats and thanks for sharing

years ago I bought a pair or AFS 101's .... for "plastics", turned out to be the biggest pieces of shit I'd ever owned. Took'em back to REI and picked up some Koflach Arctis Extreme's .. best pair of plastics I have ever owned

Be careful what you wish for ... you might just get it .... along with Larry the Tool knocking on your tent door.

Excellent .... nice work!

I'll 2nd that motion

Assuming your in Bend ... bust up 97 north to L-worth. March in the Tieton .. you're more than likely facing nesting closures.

so why bother with the cat in the first place? As mentioned above ... come with a back-up plan and the intent to use it if needed.

well done !!! ... nice push, way to keep it moving forward. I could imagine a lot of people bailing in those conditions.

Well Done gents .. congrats to the Conquistadors!

Where do your start ... Stump, Bridwell, Beckey, Chouinard, Terray, Lowes(s) ... and Fred of course.

Outstanding !!

Not sure about today ... but I believe ... many, many years ago ... Feathered Friends would sell bulk down.

Boy .. that sure takes a guy back a few years! Viva La Lycra

LMAO Hello Kitty would be proud

I believe it's the typical "one bad apple" sort of thing ... there are truly some very talented and sincere people out there guiding From personnel experience, I found the "A-hole" issue to be very prevalent on Rainier in the mid-to-late 80's. After the Park opened the concession to more competition and people had choices, the number of "ass-hole-guides" seemed to be reduced dramatically. Some of them were 10x the jerks that some of the old "pre-Mike G" Rangers were. I will agree .. I've never run into an "ass-hole-guide" that was female. But I also don't get any where close to what I used to.
