The Glade Trail is where the tram ran....and they did get a quart of milk too...

I'm publicizing, not advertising...it's like a press release.

Just wanted to bump this back to the top for a minute...Go to the Wy'East Store and pick one up...

Random question...My old father told me once that a group camp on the summit of Hood...maybe in the 60's I think...when they woke up. The Oregonian was at there tent door??? umm.. what do you think? Winter can be rough...and...did they do the winter climb?

Only one other idea...when I climbed Leuthold years ago...we simul climbed the whole thing a few feet apart (Left and Right of each) No rope...no gear for that matter. Just two tools and one fanny with beef jerky. However the Summit ridge on that side would have been nice to have a short rope to use the diving belay...I don't know if the other side has a nice ridge...? Nothing like walking a 2 foot wide jagged path with the 2,000 foot NF to the Left and the 500 foot Mazama gullies to your right...

Consider this...heavy snowfall year...maybe the route will be deep with snow still in early spring. The way I look at it is this....I only use pickets for crevasse travel...where as up high on a mountain in snow soft enough for pickets you could self arrest just fine. But if the snow is too hard for pickets, then you'd want two tools and and ice screw or two...however, the route should be moderately soft and the use of two tool keeps you balanced better than with one..so you're less likely to fall over backwards and have to self arrest...also, if you're roped up using pickets to prevent a "slip" but miscalculated the slope stability and it slid...well, the rope, pickets and your other partner could keep you under the snow by preventing you to swim on top of the snow...I never rope up on anything but vertical and glacier in avy terrain. The good thing about your chosen route is you need not worry about a team above you slipping and taking you out. As per say the Southside.

Smooth...wish my ACL wasn't torn so I could be out there instead of here...Peace

Who cares if the band sucks or rocks...scalp the CD and make a buck...who are they anyway?

Where is that...how long of a drive/hike from Vancouver?

Interesting...we must remember...ice is always a first ascent...it's never the same twice.

Went up this weekend. Skiing through the trees making tight turns and had to make a quick correction to avoid a tree...but it sent me off a weird kicker that made me fly sideways through the air as my leg was forced to go from bent to straight faster than my ligaments wanted to react...I think I tore my ACL as a result of the forces...any ideas on recovery times?

Why not reinvent the wheel, it makes for more information...think of the ski and snowboard market...it seems that it could be a good idea to have more gear reviews due to the plethora of gear out there...Ski brands, climbing brands, clothing brands, etc...I say reinvent the wheel with a twist...like LINE skis reinvented the ski into the "Mothership"...

WOW...good to watch...lesson

The rat race and conformity confuses many people.

Amazing shot! Is the original shot in HDR format of a just long exposure

That looks oddly familiar...who gave you that Idea...are those available with the five finger discount?

What I don't understand is how people (person) assume to make an assoutofyou and me..there you go that should be your rebuttal.

The natural pixel size would make that crown point one at 42" x 6". however, I was not using a large lens so I doubt I can make the crown point one nearly as big as the Mount Hood. A cousin of mine printed the Hood one at 82" x 18" and I know I can go even bigger than that...but yeah...it would be amazing to get the crown point during a Summer sunrise or Blue bird day...

I knew you'd find the way...should I put in an "X" too? No really, I just dropped off 24 small prints without the letters at Timberline this morning.

Gorge is closed at Troutdale!! Cold...freezing rain maybe...but when it opens...maybe more ice?

$30,000 is more than I make most years...$30,000 to play half the time/work half the time and live mainly in Bellingham! I'd take that, if I had the guiding experience...

The below panoramic in a small print version will be available at Timberline's Wy' East store starting next week. Larger versions are available through mysite: www.poulton-imaging.com

Nice drive by shooting or was it the wind....?? Has anyone locally done the cave connection on Mist falls?

Nice, how long is the drive from P-Town?

If you haven't already, take an avy course this winter. You might meet some people there. Then, get out there and dig pits everywhere you can so you become familiar with snow elements. If you want to become a guide...well, if you think a outdoor leadership school is too expensive...then AMGA cert...would be overwhelming too. However, being a client would give you a better understanding of what it would be like to be a guide...
