This picture is so funny "Hey guys let's ignore the good, clean rock rock and rope up for this classic heather and krummholz thrash" "Shit bra, those crag climbers in Leavenworth don't know what they're missing when they scrub those routes!"

Oh c'mon people from Vancouver and Bellingham climb Baker routes almost every month of the year.

jeez why would someone go to California when they could climb in the Cheam Range

so more like this then...

nice I can see this whole route from my office window.

More the red line, or the green line?

I ressurect old threads so you will not have to

Still waiting for you to wake up from your otter nap and tell us the fishy story

Why not integrate it with one of those airbag packs Then after the airbag inflates you can use the expanded surface area to increase the breathing surface.

The north face of Flatiron is barely 2 pitches high when you finally get over there. I only went once and the snow was melting, water was running down in streaks and we didn't climb anything. There is often a huge flow of thin ice that forms from the bowl between the subsummit Yak Check finishes on, and the main summit of Yak. But it gets so sun rotted that it is still unclimbed... I watched 100m of it fall off all at once in early Feb.

Some guys from UCC did make a full winter conditions ascent, I think of Yak Crack not Yak Check, drytooling, thin ice and crampons on rock/snow/verglas the whole way, a couple of years ago.

Scariest thing? Can we say Hyperbole? Prepare to be very, very scared

I find if its soft snow you can plunge the shaft just fine, and in hard snow, you just use the pick under most circumstances.

Actually, I could see down a long way into Washington on Sunday morning, and the clouds were definitly piling up south and east of Jack Mountain.

It's funny that the rain shadow was the only place it rained

Twas still wet on Feb 27... I was wondering the same thing yesterday. Could see lots of bare rock from Outram looking north, but I believe there was still white on top.

I found this packet of sesame snaps reminded me of Bob. It says in small letters "Product of Poland. May contain traces of nuts."

If you've read Jeff Long's The Descent you know this is just the hadals at play preparing their invasion of the surface

Nice Rain ?

You mean the top clearance is snug ?

I kept wondering what "Shaun of the Dead" would have been like if they'd had DMM Predators instead of cricket bats.
