Wow. On so many levels. One. The attempt. Ballsy. Two. He lives for many days after his partner dies. Three. The rescue.

Awesome.! Good on you and the pics!

Never heard of that link up. Great!

that is impressive. No need for mosquito repellant moving like that.

fascinating to see Colin Haley pass you by unexpectedly!!!

that is cool!

You make this sound like a normal god damned weekend trip. ...oh, I went to Alaska.... ...didn't know what to climb... ...as we were walking by Moose Tooth we decided to give this route a shot.... ...we were home the next day...

Thank you for the inspiration Marc.

No, I do not filter water. I do not own a water filter. I have never filtered water. I am in the outdoors about 30 days a year now. I used to be out in the outdoors about 100 days a year. I have never gotten sick. I selectively choose where I get my water. Do I get my water from: Outlet of a high use lake: No Downstream from a trail frequented by horses or humans: No Non moving puddles/bogs: No Everything else where I get my water: Yes

you two do all the fun trips!

I am sure it is based on a true story!

My goal. Get out when I can. This climbing thingy comes after the priority with the family and job--gotta pay the gas bill to my climbing places somehow! No more days off for watching Seahawks. That's a relief.

Sadly...ASA Peak was removed by somebody. The person never submitted this valuable peace of History into the University of Washington archives either.

that is good info. thanks!

Seriously some great photos. Great framing. Great storytelling with those photos.

I know this sounds odd, but I really like the framing and how the light Osprey packs work. That being said, I do not like their setup for how the pack is...I just like the framing... If only I could get a marriage between Cilo and Osprey... maybe ask to buy an Osprey framing system...then send it to Cilo to custom make the pack part of it....

sleep is for losers. You my friend, are NOT a loser.

That is pretty darned cool. I knew a couple of people who did the Tatoosh traverse over 30 years ago in a day. There were no websites back then.

20 hours roundtrip? No sleep? No bivy? If so, way to go!

Perseverance. Great show for coming back 10 years later. Yeah, that slide alder can me mentally taxing. Tell her there are worse things, such as chest high salal, and a grove of pacific yew on a mountainside.

looks great with the weather. funny subtle picture!

You guys definitely took the most advantage of the long days. I am impressed.

Bellingham probably feels like a desert compared to Juneau. Glad you had a great time!

you should update that thread, old boy - a story w/ a post-script is to be savored....how u doin? I am still climbing! Although not at this exact time...had and ACL reconstruction 3 weeks ago due to a skiing mishap....luckily no rappelling incidents...however, every time I rappel, there is a very short thought that goes through mind about what happened many a year ago.

Here is my rappelling accident: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/48076/Mount_Temple_Accident_Incident#Post48076
