He doesnt troll here at all,and if he finds out anyways who cares?

Climb: "A" peak, by Ellinor-Millimeters of Verglass Date of Climb: 11/28/2004 Trip Report: Its fun to go chasing after rumors of ice. "Washinton Ice" suggests a route on the north face of Ellinor called "Acres of Diamonds. I couldnt resist checking out the possible line of it, but here in the Olys you have to also recon the approach to these areas as well. Needless to say, I couldnt even get in the cirque from where I thought I might be able to. I went to Ellinor-Washinton Col and saw only large cliffs below . It was then I realized you would have to approach from the other side altogether- The Jefferson lake way. Is there a trail in there? Not to be shut down, I found a gully leading up to the summit of the peak just south of the saddle- "A" peak offered an interesting 60 feet of mixed in a gully /dihedral followed by a long section of steep almost icy snow all the way to the summit pinnacle. Fun as well was the traverse from there ot the summit of Ellinor. Has anyone done the Ellinor-Washington Traverse? What time of year? It looks cool and what little I did was very fun. The route I did here was cool, but nothing I would call significant at all. It did start the stoke for me and winter climbing and I am sure we are ready to hack away! Heres to a good season ahead! Gear Notes: 2 tools, crampons Approach Notes: Head towards Ellinor-Washington col and go p gully left of saddle basin towards summit of "A" peak. Then traverse along ridge to summit of Ellinor

Yes , i have a bit from the N. Picket traverse and the Sawtooth Traverse, I would also like to be in the mix sooner than later, I am coming over from Bainbridge now, Thanks Jon Wayne

We are having a surprise party for him this weekend,Dec 4th, pm me if you are friends with him and would like to attend,Wayne. PS, I am trying to get a hold of Jim Opdyke too,Bill Coe. ?

Bon voyage. Lots of fun stuff there, better than Texas!

so how did it go? ,I ended up in Calfornia

According to Nick Dodge , there is a "Giant Rotten Bong Crack", How many giant rotten bongs should I bring? Or how many hits ? Really though, it is a fun climb just make sure you have thin-eared carabiners for the tiny homemade hangers on the 11a/b crux.

Yes Ken, Id be in for pooling!

Be nice? Are you sure you have the right site? I have developeed this assumption that with climate change and all... The season to climb here (for alpine anymays) is early June to july. The weather then is hit and miss but any later time and it could majorly suck. The guiding companies wouldnt do it after aug 1st cause the glaciers had huge impasses . Water up high on rock ridges can be an issue too. Good luck sounds fun and we look forward to flaming your trip report!

I am bored and people are dragging up old threads to relieve their own affliction, so here is the chart
