I don't think he has built up his gallery and figured how it works yet. Lee, you have to upload to the gallery so when you push the photo button while building the post the gallery shows up and you click the photos you want to add to the given location in the post.

"New Trip Report" button in Route Report section for given section.

That's amazing...

Good job Marc...so, I'm getting stronger myself...I can now climb a solid 5.9 with a pack on my back...and not tweak my shoulder...

Um....that's why I got the Marker Dukes...I'll never break those unless I take a knee fall in tour mode. Awesome Photos! You should Plywerk some of those.

Shot during my recent trip.

You can thank Mr. Tom Hanlon for the pics...he had a nice compact Canon G11 at the ready on his hip....while I had a Canon 40D stuffed into my pack...I need to devise get a better carry system...

We dropped into the White River about level with the base of the Steel Cliffs and contoured around and out onto the Wy'East Face maintaining roughly 9200 - 9500 in elevation. We did descend a bit approaching the Black Spider area but not much. All the crevasses were covered except for the main Berg on the Newton Clark.

About 3 hours and the snowpack was solid until just before the Black Spider Cirque then it got soft. A bit shorter then the Tilly Jane TH. And after you get up top your car is nicely parked on the Southside.

Trip: Mount Hood - Cooper Spur Date: 3/19/2010 Trip Report: Tom and I thought about checking out the Black Spider area so we planned a jaunt from Timberline Lodge around the east side to have a look. We made our bivy hotel with the best window view anyone could get. We planned to wake up at 0300 on the 19th and get moving by 0400. However, we didn't get moving until 0430 because room service was a little slow making the hot chocolate. Approaching the black spider Thinking about doing something here but deciding it was too warm. Climbing the Cooper Spur instead and wallowing in the sugar. We descended the south side back to our stash and I had one hell of a fast ski descent down from the top of the palmer. Some skiers at the Hogsback hooked me up with some extra water...if you read this thank you. All in all it was a great trip except for the sugar wallow.

Awesome!

Tom and I had no one on the summit...though we took a lot longer to get there...TR coming soon. We started at Timberline and wrapped around the East to the Black Spider but the ice line we were after was wind loaded and so we contoured around and up the Cooper Spur. Summit at 1209.

Awesome photo!

Now it says, "Did snowmobilers cause deadly avalanche"

Everyone was out on March 6 it seems! http://www.examiner.com/x-18581-Portland-Mountaineering-Examiner~y2010m3d12-North-cascades-activity Awesome day!

huh...more parking...a lift to the top of Silver King....a proposed Silver Basin Express...a lot stuff might be changing up there...an East Peak lift...

I think the "unclimbed" would be a good warm up for the Arachnophobia Direct....when are the Canadians coming? Tell them to wait 2 weeks.

Lay on a sled and have your buddy pull you.

I see a variation on Arachnophobia.

Great climbing...got to get on it! Anyone up for a first ascent of another line over there? Congrat Wayne!

Cool....

where's yer tr's dawg? show us how it's done! Yes, perhaps I should contribute; here goes: Today I went to Vantage--it was SICK! On the way to Vantage I stopped at the gas station where I was like, "Should I fill up with Unleaded or Premium. Hmmmm. Well," I thought, "you only live once!" so I filled 'er up with premium unleaded...SICK! Next, I stopped in North Bend where I stopped and bought a breakfast sandwich, a cup 'o joe, and a maxipad; the sandwich was to DIE FOR; the coffee was HOT; and the maxipad, oh so soft. SICK! At Vantage I climbed a bunch of gas ass sport routes--SICK! I took 20 draws (10 with orange dog bones; 10 with pink dog bones); however, I only used 11. I also brought bigbros (did not use); balznuts (did not use); nuts (did not use); pickets (did not use), crampons (did not use), plastic boots (used only for the approach), and testicles (DID NOT USE). SICK! The drive home--SICK! Will post some pictures later. All in all a SICK day! Thanks to all my bros and hos--you guys rock; what would I do without you. Oh yeah! And props to Jane for her first lead! Super duper SICK! Utter confusion.... You say you don't care...but you post that fact as if you care....then you TR'd a SICK gasaholic trip up some plastic round up of an ant hill as if you care...again. You have testicles and maxipads for you protection....that's just hemaphroditee of you. Thank you for taking the time to post your hole.

Awesome, post the link when the TR's up on your site.

Get that sledge out and bash the ice off that boat....I never crab fished but I did do some siene fishing in the SE by the waterfall area of Baranof Island...that area is amazing too. Alaska is just amazing. Need to go back! Looks like an awesome trip!
