I took out over an acre of forest near Scuzzy with a huge boulder off the top hitting a scree covered ledge and setting the whole thing in motion off a 500m cliff. Sort of like bowling with a shotgun.
Winter climbing was popular when the gear to climb water ice wasnt very good? the last few years everyone has been locked into going to Lillooet every weekend even the 3 weekends when alpine conditions were perfect (solid snow and no avalanche hazard)
I mean, this was in perfect shape last year and no one climbed it!

And covered with 3 feet of snow.
1) Yellow Bird with nuts only and in hiking boots
2) Russian routes on Inspiration and Bonanza
3) Nooksack Ridge traverse from tower to Shuksan
4) Navigator Wall, Slesse
5) Eve Dearborn Memorial
6) Drury Falls
7) tele ski descent of NF Shuksan
M. Layton and I visited secret cirque today and only one little pillar was half-formed. The wet snow covered slab below deterred any thoughts of dry tooling up to the ice.
We also checked out some areas up Hwy 3. No ice at Sumallo Bluffs, and wet rock and unformed pillars at Gibson Pass.
This is one of the best TRs I have seen in a long time. The pathos...the humor...the Euro take on Cascade mountaineering...
Compare it to the recently posted TR for the same route on scott'teryx site. Very educational!
He went out to live in the world or die trying, and he died. But the fact he was a hippy type is extraneous. Ive seen plenty of rednecks that dont know jack squat about living in the woods either. Mostly in the Chilliwack valley on summer weekends

I know the grease culprits. Who cares though? It's not like you can do anything about it. It's water under the bridge.
It's an interesting bit of local climbing lore; like the pig heads, porn on Library Ledge and the bolting/chopping of Dan's Dreadful Direct.
And smoking in Muir Hut.
