ray did you get any pictures of Torment? Aidan

check out his website..... www.cascadeclimber.com he has a great trip report! and good pics Aidan

ok so i know the route will probably be doable but the thing i am wondering about is will the coleman be crossable around the 10th or 11th of august? i was thinking since we had such a big snowfall year that it might push the season on this climb back a couple weeks? yes? no? any info or thoughts would be great! thanks, Aidan

Anyone done it? how is it? thanks, Aidan

no way....i cant beleive what i am seeing.....the captian..giving useful beta!? no fuckin way! Aidan

i also read somewhere that avalanche gulch(is that the name?) is a nice ski. Aidan

go for it...the route is very straight foreward and if your comfortable with your abilities at that grade i am sure youll have no problem....crux is not commiting...its about 7-10 feet high. for the rest of the ridge its low 5th class....but this route is really fun. really fun...i am never going up the south face again...but shh dont spread the word to the mounties. Aidan

Looked at Stuart from the top of Colchuck today.....still quiet a bit of snow all over the peak. the north ridge....like colin said still has alot of snow on it. Aidan

nice work! its summer for me now and that means lots of climbing during the week!

yeah i was planing on rappeling anyway. thanks for the info about the approach no need for the extra weight now! Aidan

Alright thanks for the information guys! nope colin's got other plans this weekend, but i wish he would go climbing with me! might give it a shot or might head to the moutains. i will post conditions if we do end up doing it. bring an ice axe? really? thanks again, Aidan

Is Green Giant Buttress climbable? or is there still snow on top? has anyone climbed this route or seen it this season? thinking about giving it a shot this next thursday. thanks Aidan

Jump that bitch! true deep words cavey another idea is to buy a plane ticket to the alps and walk up the back side of the eiger and take one of those bat suit things and jump that bitch. what is it like a minute and half in the air just flyin! 6000ft! that seems like the ultimate jump. another idea although i dont know how good it is. would a jump off willis wall work....i mean if you had one of those bat suits that make you glide. or is it way not steep enough? just thinking of big walls.

the snow was gone from the ledges last year in june. but it was a low snow fall year. this year there is a ton of snow. just keep that in mind. Aidan

do you take pleasure in pickin fights?

MY COUSIN IS THE COOLEST! ok in all seriousness....i have been climbing with colin for the past 2 years which is basically my entire climbing career, he has taught me most of what i know and he would never ever stoop to a low like that and lie. just had to put my .2 cents in. Aidan

Jim Nelson's book has a overview of the route. Aidan

wow that much huh? come on guys i knwo you know thanks again, Aidan

YO MAMA is SOOOOOOOOOO UGLY........when she excersies the sweat goes around her forehead just to stay away from her face.

how much is there? do you need floatation? would like to bring some friends(non-climbers) hiking to show them the beutiful outdoors, in the next week or so. but wanted to know how much is on the ground still? thanks, Aidan

Ced, car camping is very doable. but be back at your car before mid day because that when the cop usually makes his rounds. We got back to the car and saw him closing in....so we wasted no time and we threw all our shit in the back our truck and got out of there before he could get to our car. i hear the tickets are big ones too have fun, Aidan

it might be......the snow has been very wet and been fallin up there for the past week. Aidan

went skiin up there last weekend looks like someone brought a AK-47 up there and fucking unloaded a hand full of clips on it....or i could have just said it is very picked out. also it was meltin/drippin wet Aidan

actually dru that picture you got there is Lhotse....geeeeeeeeeeesssss i guess you havent watched the Everest IMAX enough............ aidan

how much of this is melted out..if any? any information on it? thanks, Aidan
