Can you bivi in them?

Doesn't exactly help the credibility, does it? I looked on Topozone and there are two Silver Star Mountains in WA http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=45.74806&lon=-122.23778 This is the 4390' one.

Mousetrap and Better Mousetrap - needs a few more days to form up. About 60% ice and 40% water at the moment. Sumallo Bluffs - Landmark Gully on the left, Buszowski/Kippan on the right. Hoping to try climbing this tomorrow. Might be too thin at the crux, we'll see. Detail of unclimbed and unformed ice above the B/K. Maybe a good candidate for bolted mixed route? Crunchy Frog - looking a bit unformed at the crux pillar but I'm sure you could climb it if you're a tough guy unlike me. Other routes - no photos - Anthrax Ripple - couldn't see much ice but maybe I was looking in the wrong gully. The Mess routes - looked mostly in. Medusa, Jet Lag etc. - similar to Mousetrap, mostly forming but not too attractive as leads yet. Jarvis Bluffs - a bunch of icicles but even if you were a shit-hot mixed climber these aren't climbable yet IMHO. Ditto all the unclimbed ice near the Sowaqua exit. Deneau Falls - lots of snow, some ice, running water visible Tailwind - photo was horribly bad or I would post it. Thin ice. Probably not climbable as an ice route BUT if you are a good climber and brought a lot of rock gear and Spectres you might very well be able to climb this as a mixed route since it follows a corner system with good cracks and turf. Sorry for huge photos. Hopefully I don't show up to the B/K tomorrow to find 5 parties have beaten me to the ice. The creek crossing to Sumallo Bluffs looked as bad as normal - no log jams have magically formed. I'm planning to cross using hip waders tomorrow....

wiggle on the bottom wiggle on the top wiggle in the middle and laugh a lot cause you're living in a wiggly world now

Sometimes they make multiple bails for the same crampon - and you need the right one. The parts department at the MEC warranty desk, for instance, can fit you with the right one. I suggest taking your boots and crampons to wherever you bought the crampons and asking for some help.

yeah, send us some of that!

Ice Climbing - the reason for the season

TOOL SWINGING is what you should have been training FOR

Scenic runner-up

Lets have a race, first one to 1,000 posts on Alpinist wins free beer.

is that the top of marmalade/thermometer gully, directly below the summit at the bottom of the frame? photo by simon chesterton taken yesterday in harvey basin.

i think that quite possibly this may be photographic proof of t3h n0dd3r

you guys are slow http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/threadz/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/523507/an/0/page/0#523507

It's not the only thing u eat

A lot of stuff can form up in a week, though. Last new years', nothing was in on Tuesday and it was fat by Sunday...

Maybe a wingsuit?

From Wikipedia:

pfffff

why not just use the edk?

looks more like turd mode than rock mode! they should have made one that coils up.
