A PBR for PMR and PDX?

Our route is pretty much on the left skyline the whole way,moves right near the top of what is visible. S/L goes up the first major RF shadowed corner right of the left skyline. You can see the double hand crack just left of the obvious cracked block in the left foreground.

Actually reviewing the description of the Spagnut/Laing I realize now that it wasn't where i thought it was. The distinctive "leaning pillar" and double overhanging cracks on that climb's crux second pitch, are a good landmark. Our first belay is shared, S/L climbs in from the left and we accessed the belay from the right. The hand cracks on p2 S/L were soaking wet and slimy, so we traversed left and ended up climbing a thin groove about 20m left of the S/L crux. Then our crux pitch was only about 10m left of the S/L third pitch, which must have been in the chockstone gully to our right. The routes cross higher up and we finished right of the S/L. I guess that means the moss gully line to the left of our route was still unclimbed.

If I saw your party falling on a 20-30 degree slope, you can be damn sure I'd be passing above you, not below you, too.

Man that should be a Mike Layton shirt design except it's too artistic!

Yeah, no one gets upset about killer cuddly snaffle games but when someone makes a sex mod for GTA San Andreas even Hillary Clinton supports censorship. They should ban violence on TV and instead have sex on 24/7. That would make humans less chimp and more bonobo.

Hey watch it, Enumclaw doesn't like beiong laughed at.

well you could be a wheelchair-bound paraplegic slug and still beat our time up. the soul was caged on that one

Is digging a fossilized dinosaur bone out of a lump of rock a "creative process"?

I think that route was over in a filthy gully to the left of the pillar - it was the only 5.9 looking terrain we could see. I don't think the yellow line is accurately drawn either in the bottom portion?

How was the snow, icy or soft?

Fuck yeah! Nuke the Pope too!

Bump, here they are!

how about some words to go with the pretty pictures?

I would just like to add that I never see any hikers, even lost girls, when I am out putting up new Grade VII, M8+, 5.11c A4 routes on the Cascade Jewels and finding Neutrinos. So if these tourist questions bother you maybe you should just challenge yourself a little more and try some of my routes because none of the peaks I climb EVER have a walk-up descent. If you ever see me up there, though, if you ask nicely enough I'll give you my autograph and a special pamphlet I printed up listing my many sponsors and offering tips on how to choose a windshirt.

Can you get Bird Flu from The Rooster?

The fastest approach is via Depot Creek and through the col north of Spickard. Galene Lakes trail is quite overgrownm (although it is scheduled for maintenance either later this year or next year, I have heard) and Maselpanik Creek has about 5km of horrible alder thrashing before you get out to treeline by Rahm.

You know, if you carry a cell phone with you, you can just whip out the cell phone and talk to it as you hike along and then none of the tourons are going to interrupt your "important call" just to see if you went to the summit.

Yeah, its sooooooo much better if one uses the training given one to murder some foreigners!
